GREEN BAY - Mitt Romney may be overseas but his supporters are hitting the campaign trail hard here in the U.S. and here in Wisconsin.
A campaign bus for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee made a stop in Green Bay for a rally.
Senator Ron Johnson was among those showing his support for the former Massachusettes governor.
He says he's hoping Republicans will win the White House this year just as they won control of the House of Representatives two years ago.
Sen. Ron Johnson said, "We're going to facing in November 2012 pretty much the exact same conditions as we did in in November 2010 only the fiscal situation's worse and this president has shown even less leadership."
Wisconsin is a key swing state with 10 electoral votes at stake.
Romney is currently in Israel as part of his three-nation tour.
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.
EAGLE RIVER - The initiative will help to rebound what's thought of as a suffering walleye population by adding hundreds of thousands of the fish to Wisconsin lakes.
The project could improve fishing for the state's most popular game fish and tourism in the state. George Langely, a local fishing guide at Eagle Sports bait shop in Eagle River, says walleye fishing isn't what it used to be.
"The walleye population has pretty much suffered in the last twenty years and it's really nice to see Madison recognizing that and taking some steps to do something about it. It will take a while but it's a great start."
