Sign WI frac sand study petition now; deadline looming

The Walker administration is preventing people from petitioning the DNR for studies. So let's turn that around.  And by the way, efforts like these wouldn't be needed if more media did their investigative jobs and our Governor wasn't allowed to argue - - without challenge - - that the WI environment is now cleaner than it was when he was elected. Sign and circulate the petition!

and can be heard. Deadline Extended: There’s Still Time to Sign the Frac Sand Petition True Cost of Sand Petition signature pages are still coming into our office and more Wisconsinites are learning about why it’s important for the Department of Natural Resources to study the impacts of frac sand mining in our state. That’s why we are extending the deadline for people to sign the citizen petition asking the state Natural Resources Board to direct the DNR to do a strategic analysis of frac sand mining. You can sign the petition online until 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 22. Petition signature pages can be mailed to 612 W. Main St. Ste. 302, Madison WI 53703 or scanned and emailed tosharbaugh@midwestadvocates.org.
