GOP's Walker touts 
state ties during trip to Iowa
Wis. budget committee 
approves DNA upon arrest

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Scott Walker tried to introduce himself to Iowa Republicans Thursday as so many would-be presidential candidates often do — one of their own. After all, the Wisconsin governor weighing a 2016 bid for president spent seven years as a young child living in Plainfield, a tiny town in northeast Iowa Walker referred to a half-dozen times during a 40 minute speech at a Republican fundraiser.

Wisconsin State FlagMADISON — The Legislature's finance committee Thursday approved a plan in Republican Gov. Scott Walker's executive budget that would dramatically expand the state's powers to seize DNA from crime suspects. Wisconsin currently takes DNA only from convicted felons and sex offenders. Walker's plan would require police to seize DNA from anyone arrested for a felony and a host of sex-related misdemeanors.

Wis. committee votes
 to slash UW System funding
Kenseth looks
 to continue winning ways

MADISON — A key legislative committee voted Thursday to slash the University of Wisconsin System's budget, venting its anger a few weeks after learning the system raised tuition for six straight years even though it's currently sitting on a surplus of $650 million. The measure, which passed the Joint Finance Committee by a 14-2 vote, eliminates a proposed spending increase of $181 million for the UW System in the upcoming budget, and also cuts a further $2.5 million.

MADISON — An elementary school has inspired the University of Wisconsin-Madison to create a new wheelchair lift that could help make more places wheelchair accessible nationwide. The invention process started about three years ago when the principal at Emerson Elementary School in Madison, Karen Kepler, told a school donor on a tour that her biggest wish was to have her building accessible to everyone. All four entrances to the 93-year-old building had stairs.
