Wis. licensing dept. looking into doctors’ notes

Wisconsin officials are investigating complaints about doctors who handed out medical excuses for pro-labor protesters at the Capitol. Department of Regulation and Licensing secretary Dave Ross says the agency received 500 e-mails alerting the department to the physicians handing out notes. Tuesday?s statement came a day after University of Wisconsin Health, which employs some of the physicians involved, said it was also looking into the matter.
