The Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled to protect burial sites. A deadlocked 3-3 decision allows an appeals court ruling to stand. Justice Daniel Kelly withdrew from the case of Wingra Redi-Mix’s years-long effort to dig up Native American effigy mounds within its Dane County quarry.
The three-sentence opinion offers no legal analysis or explanation, doesn’t explain why Kelly withdrew, or which justices voted to uphold or overturn that lower court ruling.
