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.

It's not a silver lining. It's toxic mercury particles. Mark Harris seems to be the only one who knows he is running. I dread the thought of being "represented" by RoJo the Clown and
Glen Grothman who is indeed Michelle Bachman with a prk.
That district is a real petri dish of democracy.
