Republicans want to limit access to proposed mine site
Submitted: 06/18/2013
MADISON - Wisconsin Republicans are looking to curtail public access to an iron mine site in far northwestern Wisconsin in hopes of stopping protesters from interfering with the project.
Representative Mark Honadel is trying to persuade Republican leaders to make changes in the state budget limiting access.
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, a Juneau Republican, acknowledged the discussions on Monday.
WAUSAU - The General Assembly takes up the budget Tuesday. Monday, some local representatives and school officials talked to the public about why they believe the budget will hurt schools.
Democratic representatives Mandy Wright and Katrina Shankland spoke in Wausau today.
Shankland, who represents Stevens Point, stated, "In the last session, Republicans took over 1.6 billion dollars from our public education. They robbed our students of $550 in aid per student. And in this budget, they only return $150. That simply is not acceptable."
ST. GERMAIN - Doctors don't know why they're diagnosing more and more children with autism. It’s hard to know what therapy works best for each child.
Today at Camp AweSum in St. Germain, kids on the Autism Spectrum got a chance to interact with horses.
"I saw him smiling up there, just kind of spontaneously. I think the horse kinda shook and he thought that was kinda funny," said Becky Howell-Adams, the mother of a 9 year old with autism.
For some autistic children smiles are hard to come by. Making a connection like that people or animals is special.
