Wisconsin Assembly Approves Milk Aid and Drug Programs
The Wisconsin Assembly approved an $850,000 free milk program for school children from poor families and a $670,000 allocation for alcohol and drug abuse programs in schools. It rejected substituting a 1 percent statewide room tax to fund a $5 million annual tourism promotion plan. The package also strengthens a state toxic waste cleanup program and adds 80 professors to the University of Wisconsin System.

Wisconsin lawmakers voiced doubt about a four year plan to remove schools from property tax rolls. Rep. Jeffrey Neubauer supported the idea but acknowledged the plan’s huge $1.2 billion annual cost and potential tax trade offs. Gov Thompson urged waiting for the Local Property Tax Relief Commission recommendations before moving ahead.

Wisconsin dairy expert Crowley wins top national award
Madison dairy specialist Crowley receives the American Dairy Science Association Distinguished Service award at the annual meeting on June 21. He is noted for major welfare contributions to the dairy industry, teaching numerous field days and conferences, and for helping establish Wisconsin's forage program saving millions by reducing protein supplements. He co founded World Dairy Expo and has supervised dairy cattle shows since 1968. He also judges at county fairs. Rep Neubauer argues for tax relief with potential municipal impact and notes officials’ concerns about shifting benefits. Governor Thompson and James Klauser had not received a copy of the plan.
