WKBT La Crosse, WI-NewsChannel 8-Bill Could Result in Shortage of State Maps
Member Center:
A bill that would help Wisconsin's budget issue could also result in a state map shortage.
Several state lawmakers want to pass a bill that would prohibit the state from producing free maps that are available at the state's visitor centers for the next two years.
The department of motor vehicles issued map could still be distributed until the current supply runs out.
La Crosse officials say the free maps are very popular throughout the area's visitor centers.
La Crosse Area Visitors Bureau Executive Director Dave Clements says, "We go through over 20,000 of those a year and so its obviously something the consumer, the visitor, the tourist is interested in having."
The La Crosse visitors bureau says they give out the state issued map as well as a privately funded map that's given through the department of tourism.
