Walker refuses to take position on renewable fuel standards

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Gov. Scott Walker is refusing to take a position on the federal renewable fuel standards law, saying that's not an issue he has been actively engaged in.

Walker was asked Wednesday whether he had a position on the law that requires transportation fuel sold in the United States to contain a minimum amount of renewable fuel like ethanol. The issue is particularly big in Iowa, a big corn producing state.

Walker says since he has not officially declared as a candidate for president, he has not "gotten into that."

Walker says should he run for president, "I probably would have to take a stand on it but I'm not right now."
