Governor's ag commission adjourns rural session likely
Governor Anthony Earl told members of the Governor's Commission on Agriculture that he may call a fall special session of the Legislature to address rural development and agricultural issues. The panel, formed in February, presented a 48 page report with 76 recommendations, some already echoed in the current legislative session. Earl noted the focus must expand beyond urban and industrial concerns to include rural Wisconsin as the commission's work concludes. He indicated a plan to issue a list of topics for the session after reviewing both commissions' proposals, aiming to institutionalize the ideas for the long term.
