No freedom in E. Wisc. on July 4-5th from air pollution

The DNR's air quality warning alert is below, but you might take a look at some of the history to realize that Walker and his big business allies worked long and hard, and at the expense of science time after time to make airborne hazards - and waterborne contamination - worse.

End Date/Time:	July 5 - 11:00 PM CDT

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.
