MADISON, Wis. — Cheesemakers, doctors, veterinarians and other opponents of legalizing raw milk sales in Wisconsin urged Gov. Jim Doyle on Friday to veto the bill, citing safety risks.
Doyle last month indicated he was likely to sign it into law, but this week began to back off those statements after being barraged with opposition to the plan. Doyle now says he needs more time to study the issue and he hasn't decided what to do.
He has until Thursday to act on it or allow it to become law without his signature.
"The public health and dairy communities are almost unanimous, if not completely unanimous, in their opposition to the bill," Doyle spokesman Adam Collins said. "The governor is weighing what he is hearing very carefully and will make a decision soon."
