Funding could end embarrassment of “debtors prison.”
In an interview with KUMD talk show host Lisa Johnson, DNR Chief Conservation Warden Todd Schaller discusses Wisconsin’s mentored hunting law, which allows children of any age to hunt with a mentor within arm’s reach.

Wachs’ attempt to link his Republican political opponent to the misdeeds of Franken, Conyers and Moore comes as sexual assault and harassment are being treated with the gravity they deserve. Yet Wachs has decided to take a cheap political shot.
If Wachs is serious – finally – about showing women respect, it’s a conversation he needs to have with his own political party.
The 21 law, like Prohibition in the ’20s, didn’t really cut down on drinking — it sent it to the modern-day speakeasies. And that, of course, spurred raids by the cops followed by huge fines and even jail.
