Mast analysis

Mast interpretation

Executive Order #305 is effective from sunrise to sunset on Sat., Oct. 10, 2026. The separate press release announced that a forthcoming executive order would lower the U.S. and Wisconsin flags to honor Trooper Ritger when funeral arrangements had been made; the signed order later set the specific date and timing.
