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.

wow, they are awfully supportive of Big Gubmint there. I thought permits were evidence of creeping fascism.
A little fresh air might be good for the cheapskate singers.
The twinkies are in reference to Hostess going bankrupt, stealing the pensions of union workers, giving the CEO and Board HUGE raises, then selling everything and reopening as a nonunion enterprise in a right to work state. It is sick that these people are rejoicing in corporate fraud and elimination of family supporting jobs. http://unionosity.com/news/hostess-union-buster-pension-raider/

Anyone can make twinkies. Even undocumented workers with false ID's can make twinkies. Don't blame CEO's for making money legally with cheap, willing-to-work-to-send-money-home, labor. Democrats want the border open, not conservatives.
