Wis. board hears complaints about hunting rule
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin Natural Resources Board is hearing from residents who oppose a new law opening up much of Wisconsin’s state parks and trails to hunting.
The board held a public meeting Tuesday afternoon in Madison. More than 60 people signed up to speak about the measure.
The law prohibits hunting and setting of traps within 100 yards of trails and other designated areas. Still, some speakers say they are concerned about gunfire and traps in areas frequented by families and pets.
Other speakers say hunters already have enough access to hunting grounds.
The state Department of Natural Resources has proposed limiting the park areas where hunting can occur. The board is expected to vote on that proposal at the end of the meeting.

This is really bad reporting! How about providing some contact information in case we would want to get involved.

How are we supposed to hear about these things in time to make plans to attend? Was this published in the Gazette ahead of time? And is the reporting accurate? Was it just for those "residents who oppose a new law" or for those who support it as well?

Where do we need to look to find good reporting on things like this?
