Tax Breaks for Midwest Airlines, Air Wisconsin May Be Considered in Session.

By Rick Barrett, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News

Mar. 26--The state Legislature could be called back into session this spring to decide whether Midwest Airlines and Air Wisconsin should receive millions of dollars in tax breaks.

"I think there's a really good chance we will come back and work on this," State Rep. Jeff Stone (R-Greendale) said Thursday.

Stone wants what is called an "extraordinary" legislative session in which lawmakers consider specific items not settled during the regular session.
