WISCONSIN – State Senator Mary Felzkowski (R-Tomahawk) on Thursday, Apr. 8, announced that she and State Representative Treig Pronschinske (R-Mondovi) co-authored legislation seeking to make Wisconsin a Second Amendment sanctuary state, which would “(prevent) the federal government from infringing on the rights of legal gun owners across Wisconsin.”
Rep. Mary Felzkowski
According to a release from Felzkowski’s office, the bill would “prohibit the government from confiscating firearms, firearm accessories and ammunition that are legally owned and made in Wisconsin,” and “prohibit state public funds and state employees from assisting in the confiscation of legally owned, Second Amendment protected firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition.”
There won t be a wolf hunt this winter in Wisconsin Paul A. Smith, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
After four hours of often emotional public testimony, including from tribal members who consider the wolf a brother and a dairy farmer who has watched calves eaten alive by the predators, the Natural Resources Board voted Friday against holding a wolf hunting and trapping season this winter in Wisconsin.
The vote by the citizen board, which sets policy for the Department of Natural Resources, was 4-3.
The special meeting was called after a group of Republican legislators last week urged the NRB to implement a wolf hunting season in January and February with set quotas, application dates and set number of tags to be issued.
MADISON – Today, the Assembly Committee on Sporting Heritage hosted a joint hearing with the Senate Committee on Sporting Heritage, Small Business, and Rural Issues. Representative
Treig Pronschinske (R-Mondovi), chair of the Assembly Committee, prevented virtual or telephone participation during the hearing. Representative
Dianne Hesselbein (D-Middleton) along with other members of the committee requested a virtual option for those who still wished to participate in the hearing but had concerns about health and safety.
“My ranking member colleague made the request to Rep. Pronschinske’s office as soon as the hearing was scheduled. Those reasonable requests were immediately denied,” said Hesselbein. “I asked Rep. Pronschinske to reconsider since stakeholders were wanting to participate remotely in the hearing, but he chose not to offer accommodations to members and the public.”
