Argus Leader: As a former state official who has been involved in public service much of his adult life, David Volk has been in more than one fight. Now he's fighting for his life. The former state treasurer has taken on the role of cancer survivor, and he will put as much if not more effort into this fight than other things he has confronted in life. The 62-year-old Mitchell native, a Republican, is co-chairing the effort to repeal state laws regarding stem cell research. "We are going to put (a proposal) on the ballot. A week from Wednesday is when we tentatively will formally announce," Volk says. "We are in the organizational phase of this. We won't go to the Legislature."
