Tax to support DNR picks up steam

From the Milw Journal Sentinel

...At the Wisconsin Conservation Congress Meetings April 14, Cobb introduced a resolution to have the Wisconsin legislature enact a one-eighth of 1% statewide sales tax to be used as general operating funds for the Department of Natural Resources.

...As for Cobb's resolution, it will likely appear in the 2009 spring hearings questionnaire. Since it includes elements of money, the DNR and politics, some will want to squash the air out of it, some may want to kick it out of sight. Others may want to carefully deposit it in the goal.
