There is no authority here which is not answerable directly to the people. In the past, the DNR sidestepped being answerable to the people by making up its own administrative rules, but this is now changed and the people have more to say than ever of how their resources are managed for their benefit. The vote will determine where the people stand.

Right now the DNR has the authority to allow putting things in streams and wetlands if it is determined that this is needed, and if there is no alternative, and if no permanent damage will occur. This actually happens quite often when we need to do things like building bridges, and it is not a change in current law and does not allow for changing the water quality. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
