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.

"Damn the torpedoes (facts), full speed ahead".
I wonder what you would find if you peeled off that clunky slogan? Maybe the old American's For Prosperity "Obama's Failing Agenda" bus from 2012? Or maybe the AFP funded "A Better Wisconsin" bus tour from 2012? There was a "Heavy Metal" bus tour in 2013 that Walker participated in, also funded by AFP. And who could forget the AFP funded bus tour that brought counter-protesters to the Capitol during the uprising in 2011? That is one well traveled bus.
There's a good chance Walker will get lost along the route -- he's spent so much time out of state during his tenure as governor, he may not know his way around.
Here's my question- Does this also mean Walker will actually go out to meet the unwashed masses? Because he's done nothing but scripted photo ops at donators' businesses so far.
Maybe we need a "bus tracker" to see where Scotty is going in this desperate gambit
