A proposed 2017-'19 budget to operate the short-handed, 'chamber of commerce mentality' (Walker's definition) Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is moving forward that, yes, does add four employees to the understaffed task of regulating fast-growing large animal feeding and manure generating operations - -
- - but only moves those four from other jobs while agency-wide downsizing and laissez-faire management continues.
And the budget continues the annual permit fee for these behemoth operations at $345 - - of which the DNR retains $95 - - sort of like charging a giant semi-tractor trailer a dollar for an annual license plate renewal and labeling it a fair contribution to State Patrol operations and road maintenance.
