Capitol Notes: Some Controversial Bills in Wisconsin Likely Won't Pass in 2018

Althouse
It looks like some proposals won't see the light of day in the 2017-2018 legislature

The year is winding down, and so is activity at the State Capitol.  Lawmakers will cease much of their work there in the next couple months, before turning their attention to the fall elections.  

WUWM's Marti Mikkelson wondered whether legislators will pass any significant bills before going their separate ways, such as a measure that would ban fetal tissue research on UW campuses or allowing the carrying of concealed weapons without a permit.

She asked JR Ross of wispolitics.com for his thoughts, as part of our Capitol Notes conversation.

Marti was a reporter with WUWM from 1999 to 2021.
