people can yak all they want it wont matter. The NRB knows they are worthless under walkers regime. They have other hearings (CDAC?) hardly anyone shows up.

The "Sportsmen for Walker" Idjits have no idea how screwed they will be. They just blindly trust Walker

so thanks. will be interesting to see the outcome and response

But thanks for trying

I went to the Ozaukee meeting.

There were resolutions for:
repealing Act 1 that changes the power of the DNR secretary.
to strengthen frac sand mining regulation.
to repeal Walker's Gogebic gifts.
and to regulate the tar sand pipeline through Wisconsin better.

It was worth the hour.

with as crazy as scummy and his minions have been there seems to be always something going on somewhere.
Hard to keep track. A calender function for this board would be cool.....

3 county reports....sounds like a fair turnout ( I think Milw, Cty, Jackson Cty and Walworth Cty)....

ETA: I think the results of the elections and questionnaire will be posted online at the DNR website

One man stood up during a proposal about the tar sands pipeline that runs through the western part of the state. He said he has worked in the petroleum industry for thirty years as a commercial videographer and travels all over. He said up in the oil fields they call the tar sands oil "Chocolate Death". Anywhere they mine it the area is destroyed forever, he named two specific areas to check out - one was Winnemucca Nevada. The water is so bad they have to truck in water to shower in. He called the Great Lakes and surrounds the OPEC of Water and said that if a pipeline breaks it is worse here than in other places because of the bedrock and the water flow.

I am an absentee landowner of virgin timberland who is unable to attend. The Lynne Deposit mine in Oneida Cty was 2 miles from our property and would've ruint the wetlands there. It is 'cuz of folks like y'all it got shot down

"OPEC of water" I like that
