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.

And the very last paragraph: "We also wonder whether this influx of jobs can create a kind of wave that will bring in even more jobs to the area. And we wonder whether the proposed Kenosha casino and its jobs becomes a less urgent matter for officials, given that the casino would merely shift jobs from Milwaukee and not create new ones." So...I guess he is setting the stage for no Casino.
Is that last paragraph even an accurate statement? Only a shift in jobs, none created? And will the jobs question even be the deciding factor for the governor? There seem to be a lot of interests at play in the Kenosha casino decision, not all of them local or in state.
