Wisconsin Senate approves sulphite use on potatoes and more bills
The Wisconsin Senate concurred 17 to 15 on an Assembly bill allowing potato processors to use sulphite preservatives to prevent browning. Debate highlighted safety and purity concerns with Sen. Rasmussen favoring growers and Sen. Wilkie warning of risks to food standards. The session also advanced a retirement fund mandate for judges and permitted Oak Creek to borrow for improvements despite possible incorporation litigation. The Senate blocked a move to compel a special election for Sen. McCarthy’s seat, a repeat action after adjourning yesterday.

Opposition to Veteran Bonus Bill Heard in Wisconsin
A veterans bonus funded by outdoor advertising taxes drew strong opposition at the Wisconsin Assembly Veterans and Military Affairs Committee hearing. Only the VFW supported, while Edgerton cited prior bonuses funded by a special tax. Opponents argued the tax would be hard to administer and harm the outdoor ad industry. the plan estimated a $186.5 million cost over 20 years with $10 monthly for service and $15 for overseas service, capped at $500, for 450,000 WWII and Korea veterans, with 1977 payment planned.
