“Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children’s children. Do not let selfish men, or greedy interests, skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.”

Letter to Wisconsin DNR

Dear Wisconsin DNR,

This is in regards to the proposal to putting a second track through La Crosse River Wetlands. I’m sure there are many profitable reasons for permitting this without an EIS, but, for me, the biggest and most logical reason against it is that it WOULD BE FOOLISH. Very foolish. In fact, many decades of experience has taught us that an EIS is a no-brainer.

Besides, if the Wisconsin DNR requests an EIS, it would be setting a good example for us over here across the river. There’s nothing like precedent to give people an excuse to do something.


What’s the big deal, anyway? If there’s no problem with their proposal, an EIS won’t change the end result.
