Big Ag and Big Dairy gave their demands to Wisconsin GOP legislators, and the Senate, habitually in thrall to corporate interests, rolled over and said "OK" Wednesday morning.
If the Assembly follows suit, Walker will sign the bill as fast as you can 'check's in the mail,' and people living or fishing or working a small farm nearby or downstream can watch the big users with their high-voile wells hold those withdrawal rights in perpetuity.
The big users said they needed certainty. That's corporate code for 'what's yours is ours, too.'
And streamlined processes. Which is code for 'we want what is n the stream even before it it gets there. Forever.'
Which is why don't say "On, Wisconsin," on Scott Walker's bought-and-sold these days.
Downward, Wisconsin is more accurate.
