The DNR has misled taxpayers

Remarkable how the DNR is pulling nearly the same scam up North, as they are pulling with Lake Koshkonong here.

Letter to the Editor Lakeland Times

...My immediate concern is in regard to the DNR's attempt to manipulate water levels in the Manitowish Chain of Lakes to increase water flow into the Manitowish River below the dam. The Lakeland Times has printed numerous articles on this matter but has accepted the DNR's viewpoint as fact and done no real investigative journalism on this matter.

...For three years the DNR refused to perform an environmental impact study at the request of the Manitowish Waters chain of lakes defense fund.

...The DNR also refused to bring in an outside authority to perform the environmental impact analysis even with discussion to share the cost with the Manitowish Waters Chain of Lakes Defense

...Understand that homes and waterfront development both above and below the dam has been predicated on the stable water levels provided by the consistent operations of the dam over the past 70 years.

...Then at a strategically timed fall meeting when landowner attendance would be low, the DNR held a "listening" session to address issues residents of the Manitowish Chain might have.

...The DNR has misled the taxpayers of Wisconsin on this and many other projects. They repeatedly refuse to follow their own doctrine of environmental program planning and design.

...Property owners throughout the state beware; not just the Cisco, Eagle River, and Minocqua chains, you may be the next target for "help" from a runaway bureaucracy known as the DNR

...How many lawsuits have come against the DNR in the past 10 years? What is their win/loss track record and at what estimated cost to the taxpayers of Wisconsin?
