State Senate Approves Transfer of State Fair to Exposition Dept
The Wisconsin Senate voted 23 to 3 to move state fair oversight from the Department of Agriculture to a proposed Wisconsin Exposition Department. A six member board would govern the new agency with appointments by the governor and Senate consent, and could pay an executive up to 15000 annually. The bill allows creation of a nonprofit building corporation to bypass debt limits for construction. The change takes effect July 1, 1961 and transfers all state fair property to the new agency. The measure was also sent to Gov Gaylord for action.
