District to vote on doubling tax

From the Janesville Gazette

...District resident and former board candidate Norbert J. Johnson is not happy.

"They have pissed away so much money in legal fees," he said. "All we're doing is lining some $400-an-hour lawyer's pocket."

...Studies and assessments of the lake during the district's fight with the DNR cost several hundred thousand dollars, Christianson said. He differentiates those costs from legal fees.

"Had we not done all of the research leading up to this year, we would never have been granted our petition for the hearing," he said.
