Want to talk about the emerald ash borer?
MADISON -- Wisconsinites will have a chance to question state and federal authorities about the tree-killing emerald ash borer at a meeting Tuesday.
The state Department of Natural Resources will have representatives at the meeting in the Washington County Fair Park Pavilion. Others planning to be there are from the University of Wisconsin and the USDA.
The emerald ash borer has been found in both Washington and Ozaukee counties in southeastern Wisconsin. It's also been found in nine other states.
State officials are hoping to stop movement of the insect.
A quarantine bans the moving of firewood, ash nursery stock, timber and other items likely to be infested with ash borers out of the two affected counties.

The quarantine also includes Fond du Lac and Sheboygan counties.
