Minnesota continues to shine while Wisconsin is stuck in darkness and muck.
While Wisconsin lets the threatened Little Plover River run dry,
wants water-hogging and often polluting CAFOs to expand, has enabled widespread well-water contamination through lax oversight, and exempted the huge Foxconn site from an important environmental review which was opposed and mocked by big business, Minnesota just did the opposite to help guard everyone's waters downstream from the Mississippi River headwaters.

Minnesota’s largest potato producer is backing away from a controversial expansion just south of the Mississippi River headwaters after state regulators insisted on an environmental study of the potential contamination of groundwater.That's the difference between a state which sees its relationship to public resources as steward, opposed to a state that sees itself as the sole dealer in a high-stakes card game it rigged for the richest players.
