			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MADISON, Wis. (AP) &#8211; Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says he is voluntarily meeting with a district attorney leading a secret investigation into former close aides that has already led to indictments against five people.</p>
<p>Walker issued a statement Friday saying he will be meeting with Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm. He did not say when the meeting would take place.</p>
<p>The indictments so far have come against people who worked or were associated with Walker&#8217;s county executive office in Milwaukee before he was elected governor. Two people were charged with embezzling $60,000 from veterans and their families. Two others last week were charged with illegal campaign activity on public time.</p>
<p>Walker says he has hired two attorneys but no public money will be used to pay for their services.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MADISON, Wis. (AP) &#8211; The Wisconsin Court of Appeals has vacated an order that would require state election officials to be more aggressive in ferreting out fake or duplicate signatures on recall petitions.</p>
<p>The decision released Friday reverses a Waukesha County judge&#8217;s decision and hands a victory to Democrats who wanted to intervene in a lawsuit related to recall signatures.</p>
<p>Gov. Scott Walker&#8217;s campaign had sued the state Government Accountability Board, saying the GAB wasn&#8217;t planning to be aggressive enough in tossing fraudulent signatures. Democratic recall committees wanted to intervene in the suit but were denied.</p>
<p>The appeals court says the recall committees should have been allowed to participate.</p>
<p>The ruling sends the case back to Judge Mac Davis, who will have to issue a new order on how the GAB must handle signatures.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MADISON, Wis. (AP) &#8211; Solar energy companies owned by a tea party Republican strongly opposed to the 2009 federal stimulus package have received half a million dollars in grants under the programs.</p>
<p>The Associated Press first reported Thursday that GOP candidate Mark Neumann&#8217;s company Neumann Solar Leasing received about $81,000 in grants last year. But Neumann said Friday that company and another one, MN Solar Leasing, had gotten even more in stimulus grants and other tax credits.</p>
<p>The U.S. Treasury Department confirms that MN Solar Leasing got nearly $418,000 in stimulus grants. Neumann says his companies have gotten about $250,000 in additional tax credits established by President George W. Bush.</p>
<p>Neumann says the incentives have helped his companies invest in Wisconsin projects and create about 50 jobs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MINNETONKA, Minn. (AP) &#8211; A Minnesota food company is widening<br />
its recall of hard-cooked eggs because of a potential for listeria<br />
contamination.<br />
     Michael Foods, of Minnetonka, is recalling eggs in brine sold in<br />
10- and 25-pound pails for institutional use in 34 states. The eggs<br />
carry six brand names: Columbia Valley Farms, GFS, Glenview Farms,<br />
Papetti&#8217;s, Silverbrook and Wholesome Farms.<br />
     The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says the eggs were<br />
produced at Michael Foods&#8217; plant in Wakefield, Neb., and were<br />
bought by food distributors and manufacturers. There have been no<br />
reports of illness connected to the eggs. But, the company says the<br />
eggs have the potential to be contaminated with a strain of<br />
listeria that can cause serious infections in those with weaker<br />
immune systems.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SCOTTSBORO, Ala. (AP) &#8211; School board members in Jackson County<br />
have decided not to ban a man known as the &#8220;Bible Man&#8221; from<br />
holding monthly meetings with elementary school children.<br />
     The board took up the matter this week in response to complaints<br />
that religious assemblies were being held during the school day.<br />
The Wisconsin-based Freedom from Religion Foundation objected to<br />
the voluntary school meetings on behalf of some parents.<br />
     The Huntsville Times reports (<a href="http://bit.ly/z7PqOc">http://bit.ly/z7PqOc</a>) the board<br />
deliberated for an hour, as a standing-room-only crowd of more than<br />
100 people prayed, sang and shared stories of the &#8220;Bible Man,&#8221; as<br />
Horace Turner Jr. is called.<br />
     Superintendent Kenneth Harding says Turner leads assemblies with<br />
elementary children to tell stories from the Bible.<br />
     Freedom from Religion co-president Annie Laurie Gaylor said the<br />
board&#8217;s decision &#8220;is totally unacceptable.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HURLEY, Wis. (AP) &#8211; A federal agency says it&#8217;s looking into<br />
whether Wisconsin violated treaty rights by not consulting with<br />
tribal governments that might be affected by a state mining bill.<br />
     The Bureau of Indian Affairs says it&#8217;s conducting an inquiry<br />
after at least one tribal government asked it to get involved.<br />
     The contentious mining bill would streamline the state&#8217;s complex<br />
mine-permitting process. Republicans hope the bill will kick-start<br />
plans for an iron mine just south of Lake Superior.<br />
     A Wisconsin Public Radio report (<a href="http://bit.ly/AsuQNj">http://bit.ly/AsuQNj</a> ) says<br />
officials from the Lac du Flambeau, Red Cliff, Bad River and<br />
Menominee tribes claim the lawmaking process ignored treaty rights.<br />
     Bureau spokeswoman Nedra Darling says the agency is acting on a<br />
2009 executive order that federal officials consult with tribal<br />
governments on matters that involve the tribes.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MADISON, Wis. (AP) &#8211; The public will get a chance next month to<br />
sound off on a proposal to build a power line from Alma to Holmen<br />
in western Wisconsin.<br />
     Northern States Power Company-Wisconsin, Dairyland Power<br />
Cooperative and WPPI Energy have asked the Wisconsin Public Service<br />
Commission to approve the 345-kilovolt line.<br />
     The utilities say they need the line to serve rising demand in<br />
La Crosse and southeastern Minnesota. The state Public Service<br />
Commission&#8217;s environmental impact study, however, found it&#8217;s<br />
unclear whether the area&#8217;s population will grow enough to justify<br />
the utilities&#8217; projections.<br />
     The Wisconsin Public Service Commission has scheduled public<br />
hearings for March 13 in Alma and for March 14 in Centerville.</p>
