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.

Will agree with what Jay Weber said on WISN the other morning, that Tommy is to Wisconsin politics what Barry Alvarez was in the day to Wisconsin football.
Tommy, like Barry, likes (make that loves) to have their name in the mix of publicy for any opportunity that comes along - "will he, won't he, OMG" - but in the end they are just fine where they are at already.
So have to agree that Tommy will not run - but do not think any of the current slate of candidates for the Republican nomination will be on the ballot next November either.
