Wis. Assembly set to pass wolf hunt bill

MADISON, Wis. — The state Assembly is expected to sign off on a bill this week that would create a wolf hunt in Wisconsin.

The Assembly is set to take up the measure during a floor session Tuesday, but it’s unclear when the vote may happen.

The two-year legislative session ends on Thursday and majority Republicans have placed dozens of bills on Tuesday’s calendar. They’ll likely work through Tuesday night into Wednesday. The wolf hunt vote might not come until early Wednesday morning or even later.

The Senate approved the measure last week. Assembly approval would send the bill to Gov. Scott Walker for his signature. The governor hasn’t committed to the bill. Walker’s spokesman says the governor will evaluate the measure when it reaches his desk.
