In 2007 Wisconsin continued to be affected by the war in Iraq, witnessed amazing achievements of athleticism, received encouraging and home-grown news about the future of stem cell research, saw parts of the state hit hard by floods, suffered through a history-making state budget impasse, and woke up to other headline-making news stories throughout the year. Continuing a year-end tradition begun in 2003, Wisconsin Historical Society staff has identified history-making news stories of 2007 and selected the top 10 with a Wisconsin connection. Please join us in reflecting on the events and issues that made headlines in 2007.
