News item: Wisconsin still without official state ice fishing lure

Bills currently before the Wisconsin legislature:

A bill to make Harley-Davidson the official state motorcycle,

A bill to make cheese the official state snack,

A bill to make Lactococcus lactis, used in the conversion of milk to cheese, the official state microbe.

Wisconsin already has an official state song, which is not to be confused with its state waltz or state ballad, and an official state animal, which is not to be confused with its state domestic animal, wildlife animal, or dog. And the state beverage, milk, is just factually incorrect, on a rather obvious level.
