No better place for Wisconsin Republicans to hold their 2017 state convention than a Dells water park, as the AP reports it.
You couldn't find a better metaphor for the as Wisconsin slides down quality-of-life ratings, from road conditions to job growth than a long, slippery where your gonna get soaked.
Not to mention that such parks take extra steps to clean their water, while across Wisconsin there are so many wells contaminated with Big Ag and feedlot contamination that Scott Walker has had to rush out a pre-election bottled-water giveaway by the public sector he's set out to cripple to stem rural users' repeat "brown water events"after years of inaction by Walker's 'chamber of commerce mentality' so-called 'regulators' who approved at his behest scores more pollution-inducing permits.
It's also ironic that Republicans would be meeting at a private sector park after slashing the budgets and staffing at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, where public parks under the DNR's intentionally-weakened jurisdiction are raising fees, planning for naming rights and other privatized business opportunities and considering a plan by Walker donor and property magnate Herbert Kohler to level much of a nature preserve and even acquire acreage in the adjoining Kohler Andrae State Park to build a high-end private golf course on the Lake Michigan shoreline south of Sheboygan.
Under Walker's rule and the GOP's one-party takeover of state powers, water and parks in Wisconsin ain't what they used to be.
