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.

Fantastic! A good start.
Now let's put a couple hundred of those in Waukesha County where the wasted hot hair is plentiful.
What a beautiful addition to the Milwaukee skyline.
To paraphrase Mr. Trotter, "put those things all somewhere else... where I don't have to look at them."
NIMBY!
Gee, RD, I thought Milwaukee was too oriented towards industry and getting work done to worry about such vanity as its skyline.... When did you Republicans turn into such aesthetes?
