Wisconsin Senate considers compromise patrol bill
A compromise bill to gradually grow the Wisconsin state patrol to 340 officers over three years was introduced in the senate by the highway committee with governor support. The plan finances the increase from about 2.3 million dollars in gasoline tax receipts, while a separate two cent gas tax proposal faces Assembly decisions and potential reduction to one cent. The Assembly also rejected a plan to reapportion by area, killing that redistricting patch for 1955.
