MADISON - The case is closed and no charges will be filed ... at least not against Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
The investigation began in 2010. It dug into allegations of illegal campaign activity by Walker's former aides and associates.
Some of Walker's close aides have been convicted of charges ranging from finance fraud to embezzlement.
"As many of you know and have reported in the past, we were the ones who originally raised concerns to the district attorney about Operation Freedom and concerns about how funds were concerned and the use of funds at that time. We're glad the process is done and I think the process speaks for itself," says Walker.
Through the investigation, Governor Walker maintained his innocence and he now says he's glad it's over.
Five people were charged and convicted during the investigation including Walker's former deputy chief of staff.
STATEWIDE - Camping in the Northwoods just got a little more high-tech, thanks to a new website and iPhone app. You can download the Northern Highland American Legion State Forest app on your iPhone.
The app lets you see what campsites are available, and reserve your spot online. It also gives information about trails and other activities in the area.
In the “old days” travelers could always call ahead about site availability, but by the time out of town visitors arrive, they might be full.
MINOCQUA - “This disease is called the great imitator for a good reason,” says Jeff Waite.
Lyme disease can be good at hiding.
“Lyme disease is a bacterial type infection spread by a spiral keet, which is also considered a parasite. And it can be carried in the spit glands and intestinal track of ticks in this area. Particularly the deer tick," said Dr. Kurt Landauer.
