I've taken note on this blog - - here and here, etc. - - that Minnesota keeps leaving Wisconsin up a polluted creek.
But this recent statement by Minnesota's DNR Commissioner - -
But Walker's 'chamber of commerce mentality'-driven DNR and his systematic attack on the environmental for big business and/or his donors has led to wetland filling, enabling of toxic mining, blue-green algae contaminated rivers and brown tap water in rural areas where big ag has been allowed to grab the groundwater and pollute what's left
left has rendered that Wisconsin state constitutional water guarantee and the DNR's mission statement useless.
Seriously, what kind of water-respecting Governor and DNR management would greenlight golf course development, with its need for fertilizers, landscape scouring, filled wetland and groundwater pumping in a nature preserve digging the Lake Michigan shoreline?
With state parkland thrown in for the developer's vehicle storage and fertilizer mixing?
But this recent statement by Minnesota's DNR Commissioner - -
The water belongs to all of us.- - amplifies this contrary and shamefully stupid Walkerism thrown out by former Wisconsin DNR Secretary and current US EPA Great Lakes regional director - -
DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp, a former home builder, recalled at one agency listening session how an employee told her that “clean air and clean water, that those were our customers.
And I said, ‘Well, the last time I checked, they don’t pay taxes and they don’t sign our paychecks.’ “Wisconsin's constitution, on paper, reflects the Minnesota philosophy which dates to the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, and even earlier.
