What water, wetland protection is all about
"A little fill here and there may seem to be nothing to become excited about. But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist. Our navigable waters are a precious natural heritage, once gone, they disappear forever," wrote the Wisconsin Supreme Court in its 1960 opinion resolving Hixon v. PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.

Great story. But could you please stop spelling Amtrak in all caps, like it's an acronym for something? It's "Amtrak." Have a great holiday.
Sure.
Somewhere I acquired that spelling, perhaps at City Hall in correspondence with AMTR...I mean...Amtrak...since it's a combination of two words, "American" and "Track," and is something of a non-word.
But I will CHANGE. Thanks.
OK: I'm now fully informed, by this website - - http://goinside.com/99/1/amtrak.html - - which I'm gonna go with, that says amtrak is actually made from these words: America Travels By Track.
I'm done with this now.
