GOP governor candidate Michels defends Wisconsin residency following reports of out-of-state properties

WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- One Republican candidate for governor is defending his Wisconsin residency.

A report by Wisconsin Right Now, a conservative website, details Tim Michels' million-dollar property investments in New York and Connecticut. 

The report also says both of his children graduated from east coast high schools.

In his defense, Michels told conservative talk radio host Dan O'Donnell that he still votes and spends a majority of his time in the Badger state.

Michels' campaign website says he lives in Hartland with his family.
