Wisconsin’s attorney general, and the man who ran against him last fall both say lawmakers need to spend more money on the state’s crime lab.
A-G Josh Kaul, along with Fond du Lac County D.A. and former Republican A-G candidate Eric Toney, told reporters yesterday that the crime lab needs more people to keep up with a flood of new cases. Kaul says his two million-dollar Crime Fighting Budget is a ‘critical investment’ in public safety in the state.
Wisconsin’s crime labs were a key issue in last fall’s election, with Toney calling Kaul’s management there an abysmal failure. Yesterday, Toney said investigators and prosecutors need more resources at the crime lab to better close cases.
