Check out Public Posts

I must say, the posts HERE at the bottom of the Gazette article provided more information than the article itself provided.

Take a moment to read through the posts. It is surprising to read that there are folks out there who believe Lake Koshkonong is under a DNR fish consumption advisory - it is not an itemized lake, nor is the river, in all of Jefferson/Rock Counties.

And others say the lake district should be attending public meetings on mercury levels, others say the Lake District should focus on improving boat ramps - though nearly every boat ramp is either county property or private property.

Other posts are about our attorneys and their fees and claiming the lake district has bought them new cars and fancy vacations - or maybe it is fancy cars and new vacations.

As the saying goes, everyone hates lawyers...until you need one.

But overall, most folks see the lake district's legal challenge against the DNR as a "David v. Goliath" battle. DNR is arguably the biggest, most powerful state agency in Wisconsin. Their authority and their "deference" rarely is contested.

Until now.

David prevailed over Goliath with a sling - and stones.
