Walker's Delayed Environmental Assault Now Far Beyond "Isn't As Bad As Some Feared"

Twin attacks on full display this week against Wisconsin's environmental legacy through bills that  deregulate mining, weaken water management and tear at 225 years of Wisconsin water reverence show that Walker cleverly waited to drop his environmental bombs until time passed, lobbyists did their work and his DNR budget got some editorial backing:

Environment proposals still need some work

The governor's two-year budget isn't as bad as some feared for the environment. But some changes are needed.

"Isn't as bad as some feared" is, frankly, now 'worse than imagined.'
