We'd Be Back in Court, Even if We Prevailed...

The simple truth behind the board's decision to carry our case forward to the Appellate Court and if need be, to the Supreme Court, is that the DNR would have surely done the same, had the RKLD prevailed in Judge Dillon's courtroom.

The second motivator against stopping the legal effort was the expressed desire by some wetland owners to pursue a summer drawdown. Would the DNR listen to their wishes? The board decided it was a risk not worth betting on.

Even though some may disagree with the board's decision, we hope you agree that we have been 110% transparent, we have been frugal with your tax dollar, and we are passionate about protecting the beauty and value of Lake Koshkonong.
