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.

To be significantly more accurate James, your headline should have been "Stimulus Funding Temporarily Saves Public Sector Jobs".
From a fiscal conservative standpoint, Obama's stimulus is just making the situation worse.
Unfortunately it wasn't overpaid, redundant, and genrally useless adminstrators losing thier jobs.
Thats not stimulus buddy.
That's transferring a local cost to your grandchildren's pocket.
This is a hoax.
