....Also Wednesday, the United Sportsmen of Wisconsin Inc. reacted to a Tuesday report in the Journal Sentinel by apologizing for making yet another misrepresentation of its tax status. The conservative group said it had hired a new attorney in an attempt to sort out its botched accounting and apparent failures to comply with state and federal law.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service sent two sharply worded letters to the state Department of Natural Resources after lawmakers on the budget committee hastily slipped the grant into the state budget. The letters said the proposal would cost the state $28 million in annual federal money because the DNR would not have adequate control of how the grant funds were used.

Lawmakers worked on the budget for more than two weeks after the state received the first letter, but didn't fix the provision to guard the federal money. Some legislators had no idea anything needed fixing because some leaders apparently kept the problem to themselves.
