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.

Walker must have forgotten to tell the Governor of South Carolina to take down the confederate flag when he spoke with her as it was flying high as the casket of the State Senator killed by the white supremacist was drawn to the Capitol. How sad when wrongs are compounded.
