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.

He must be getting a sore crotch with all the fence sitting he is doing this election year. Now he knows what public employees feel like after he kicked them in the crotch and other spots with Act 10.
What a modest guy our Governor is, when it suits his purpose. I guess he's only "unintimidated" when preaching lies to his Hallelujah chorus at private or partisan events. I wonder what his I Stand with Walker groupies think of him now that he refuses to stand up publicly for his previously trumpeted principles?
That statement is totally idiotic. As the governor, Walker is the person who vetoes or signs into law all proposed laws coming from the legislature. He signs into law, any laws he agrees with, and vetoes any proposed laws he doesn't agree with. Sounds like a lot of relevance to me. His views and ideology are directly responsible for new Wisconsin law.
