Walker proposes expanding DNA collection

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker wants to spend $6 million on expanding DNA collection efforts to include anyone arrested on a felony charge and anyone convicted of a crime, a move the Republican has argued will help police solve more crimes.

Walker on Tuesday toured the state with fellow Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen to highlight $14 million in law enforcement spending that will be included in the state budget he’ll propose to the Legislature next week.
