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.

Always interesting to see "shoot the messenger" mentality and then blame them for what is going wrong.
Classic of you Rowen.

I highly recommend calling him up at the # above and pinning the stock market plunge on Johnson's & the Congressional Repubs debt ceiling extortion.
You can hear in their voice that something's backfired.
I cited extortion, the public interest, evidence-based ecomonic policy, and pinning the reponsibility on Johnson and his fellow travelers.
I told 'em I expect him to work in the national interest not in his own self interest or in the service of a bankrupt ideology . . . and it really felt like the message registered.
pass it on ...
So I wonder if the "98 percent of what we wanted" that the GOP got from the so-called deficit deal includes the tanking of the market. They got what they wanted, the market hated it. They own it -- but now watch them try and palm the market slide off on Obama or someone else. Because by definition GOP policies cannot ever be bad for the economy or, God forbid, the free market system.

He's on my list. I'll call him right after I call my democractic party congresscritters and thank them for the $1.3 trillion deficit and the non-existant budget that they've been operating under since 2009.
If the deficit is the problem, why are US treasury bods continuing to yield such low interest rates? Face it, Republicans: the free market despises you and the brinksmanship you're engaging in.
