Wisconsin Senate rejects bid to reconsider 65-foot truck rule
The state Senate voted 18 to 12 to reject a move to reconsider a resolution to allow 65-foot trucks on Wisconsin highways. Democrats split, with three for and eight against, while Republicans favored 9 for and 10 against. The Assembly had approved a bill restricting corporate farming, but the Senate caucused and did not advance, amid pressure from farm groups and Democrats on protecting family farmers from corporate competition. Senator Gaylord Nelson accused absentee corporations of land purchases for tax loopholes.
