Drainage Districts Did WHAT?

Reresentatives from the Jefferson County Drainage District testified in support of the DNR, and in opposition to the RKLD.

Their testimony was embarrassing for its lack of substance.

But the real irony is -- and I suspect Judge Coleman will scratch his head some late night as he reviews the transcripts and this nugget jumps off the page -- the DNR has allied itself with the Lake Koshkonong Wetlands Association, a small band of private hunt clubs dedicated to keeping their wetlands AND a government body (drainage districts) once charged with draining wetlands for agricultural, farm production.

The following is a parody;

Hi, we are here to support the Wetlands Club, now that we drained thousands of wetland acres into ditches that flow into Lake Koshkonong...creating family farms with the richest soils that became famous the world-over for tobacco production...we would like to reverse history.

Yes, your honor, we would also like to testify against auto production at GM...the horse and buggy was railroaded out of existence, or was it the railroad was buggy-whipped by the gas powered engine??

Anyway, we at the Jefferson County Drainage District also believe the world is flat.
