How Walker, Mining Interests Are Dissing Northern Wisconsin

By scheduling, in Milwaukee, the one public hearing on the hurry-up Assembly mining bill aimed at enabling an iron mine and trashed water quality near Ashland.

This would be like scheduling a hearing on Milwaukee's streetcar plan in Ashland.

Or a session on the Zoo Interchange in Superior.

You wanna exercise your First Amendment rights on this issue? You gotta drive and drive and drive.

I predict this strategy backfires, though the Legislative damage may already be done.
