Contested Case Hearing begins

The hearing started rather slowly today. After kicking-off at 10:15am, the administrative hearing judge gave a history of why we are all gathered here today, then took a 10 minute break.

...DNR Ken Johnson and DNR Legal Counsel fumbled through their binders looking for maps before making their opening remarks.

...Lake Koshkonong Wetland Association Legal Counsel Buck Sweeney made opening remarks.

...RKLD legal counsel Bill O'Connor spoke; RRKA & LKRA legal counsel Art Harrington spoke.

Then, it was time to go to lunch....11:50am.

For those who had been waiting since 10:30am, waiting until nearly 1:00pm to offer their testimony was too much.

Please come back on Wed if you had to leave.
