Two Democratic legislators have met with Gov. Scott Walker's staff to discuss measures to control chronic wasting disease, and a spokesman for Walker said Thursday that the governor's office was evaluating the proposals and would review them with the Department of Natural Resources.
"If the measures are viewed by experts as effective steps, we look forward to adding them to our ongoing efforts," spokesman Tom Evenson said in an email.
"Governor Walker takes this issue very seriously and wants a healthy deer population and harvest."
The meeting between state Reps. Chris Danou (D-Trempealeau) and Nick Milroy (D-South Range) and Walker's chief of staff, Rich Zipperer, came a week after the legislators requested the governor and DNR secretary "immediately develop a comprehensive plan" to address the spread of the fatal deer disease in Wisconsin.
