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.

This is a tragedy - what do we get? More concrete, more congestion, more air pollution , more gridlock and further need for "freeway" expansion. What do we lose - beautiful nature planted trees, wide open spaces for humans, dogs, birds, butterflies, wind, vistas and much much more.
Indeed - this was another environmental rape!
Very saddened.
Beautiful video.
this is only the beginning. Tosa wanted development so bad that the added high voltage power lines for "reliability" will take out massive amounts of trees. This is not balance at all.
