State lawmaker skips Wal-Mart tour to avoid violating open meetings law (AP)

A state lawmaker said she would not attend a private tour of the Beaver Dam Wal-Mart distribution center on Tuesday to avoid possibly breaking the open meetings law.

The state Assembly committee on personal privacy scheduled the Wal-Mart tour and one of a University of Wisconsin research lab to gather information about radio frequency identification tags. A notice released Friday said the general public was not invited.
