MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Just call him Dr. No. Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos isn’t giving several bills on hot-button issues much of a chance of passing the Legislature. Vos told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday that he doesn’t think there’s support for divisive measures supported by fellow Republicans. Vos says bills unlikely to pass include a measure to ban fetal tissue research on University of Wisconsin campuses and another that would allow the carrying of concealed weapons without a permit. Vos also says a bill opposed by businesses but backed by communities around the state to close the so-called “dark store” property tax loophole is unlikely to pass. He also says there is no consensus on a bill changing the state’s worker’s compensation system and he doesn’t think it will pass.
