Quiet legislating for 1 WI sand mine embraced again by GOP legislature
Another Scott Fitzgerald Imperium alert:
Remember the sneaky, 11th-hour Wisconsin Assembly move to void legislatively a hearing granted to citizens who were exercising their legal rights to oppose before a judge the wetland-filling plans of a Monroe Count sand mining operation?
Well, the Assembly tacked on that one-business-only permission to another bill in another tacky move Friday just to make sure this one business gets what it wants, and GOP State Senate and rule-bending special-interest King Scott Fitzgerald indicates that he, too, can push through that same special-interest sop next week right before the Senate adjourns to get address its real business: election campaigning.
The corruption of legislating and environmental protections on behalf of polluters, donors and special interests is blatant and repetitive by GOP policy-makers right now.
