MADISON -
A spokeswoman for Trek Bicycles says its full page newspaper advertisement complies with Wisconsin law and is constitutionally protected free speech.
The Wisconsin Republican Party on Tuesday filed a complaint with the state elections board saying the ad that ran Sunday in Madison and Milwaukee newspapers was an illegal campaign contribution to Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke.

RHINELANDER - The state Supreme Court made a ruling Tuesday that could impact what evidence can be used in rape cases.
It reversed the decision of a state appeals court in a 2011 case.
A defendant argued evidence of a previous consensual relationship with the victim should be allowed in court.
But the Supreme Court said evidence of a previous relationship falls under the state's rape shield law.

FOREST COUNTY - Prosecutors believe a Forest County man made meth and had other people buy ingredients for him.
36-year-old Shandon Tallier of Laona faces four felony charges.
Police became suspicious when Tallier bought ephedrine or pseudophedrine more than 50 times during the last year. Those are drugs commonly used to make meth.
Tallier was also blocked from buying the drugs more than 20 times in the last year. That's because he already bought more than the federal limit allows in a 30 day period.
