WI State Journal: Wetlands Development

In case you interested in checking out developments in the WI State Senate regarding the development of wetlands, I thought I'd post this. Of course, many natural wetlands have already been drained and developed for agricultural, residential, and business reasons, and many municipalities are struggling with rain water retention. Let's also not forget how our lakes in Wisconsin have become so polluted with lawn chemicals that they bloom hazardous algae every summer. Of course if we had more natural wetlands then we wouldn't have to solve any of these expensive problems. Feel free to check out the article: WI State Journal
