Wisconsin assembly votes 60-35 to legalize some sales of raw milk through the end of 2011. Via the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:
Assembly early Friday morning passed 60-35 a controversial bill that would allow farmers to sell untreated milk at their farms.
The issue has struck a chord with many consumers and segments of the farm community who tout milk — straight from the udder — as a safe product with many healthful properties. The bill had already passed the Senate and now goes to Gov. Jim Doyle, who has said he would sign a raw milk bill under the right circumstances.
If you live in Wisconsin, and feels trongly one way or the other, you should contact Gov. Jim Doyle and register your opinion on the bill SB434. His phone number is (608) 266-1212.
