This Blog Moves Into Year Six

I launched this blog on February 2, 2007, and all the readership and distribution trends are good. Thanks to people for slogging through the content.

Give Scott Walker credit for the spike in blog traffic that began a year ago, and note that his administration's actions and methods keep validating the name I gave the blog by letting industry run the DNR and write bills that will help mining companies and builders exploit rivers and wetlands in the general public or native tribes' domain.

So here's to another year opposing the corporate capture of Wisconsin resources, tradition, and law, and to a fresh dedication to replacing the right's self-interested agenda with a publicly, re-focused Wisconsin political environment.

Thanks for shining some light in dark corners and making the environment we all share the focus of numerous good posts.Regardless of any of your follwers political persuasion, I think we need to redouble our efforts to protect the air, water and land we all use in common first, before we permit open pit mines and grant out of basin water diversions. Keeop up the good work and Happy Anniversary.

I kinda keep the numbers to myself, but they tick up and up, which is good. I also didn't mention that you got me into this - - oops.

Six years--wow! Where did those 6 years go?

Thanks, James, for your research, articulation and insight. On those days when schedules or travel don't allow me to log on, there's an empty space in my day.

Thanks for YOUR slogging!
