Local control within the parameters of the Public Trust Doctrine should be the reality, not empowering a bureaucratic state agency with even more authority...
Yes. Mrs. Close, it was RKLD who saved the Indianford Dam. And we saved it, and banked more than $500,000 in a segregated fund along with it.
A simple, Thank You, would suffice.

YOUR VIEWS
Legislature should rethink power of lake district boards
While it is probably a truism that you may not care to know what goes into making sausage, likewise you may be astounded at what gives substance to a legislatively formed board district.
The DNR vs. Koshkonong Lake District lawsuit has been in the hands of the state Supreme Court for many months, yet no published decision has come. That long delay may be due to the wisdom of the court to direct the Legislature to “clean up” the enabling statute, thus making the law and accompanying administrative rules more judicious and less frequently violated. The present law is badly flawed!
Every organized group that is formed with a governing board may cling to its stated highly emotional goals for two or three years, after which time the board will abandon the stated goals and concentrate on the biases of the encumbered board, such as the Brian Christiansen Board! (And more recently experienced by the Mallwood District.)
Returning to the sausage: How can a district get from saving a dam and 8 inches of water to dredging a lake and forming islands? The dam was saved years ago, and the trickle of that small amount of water is really a nonworkable entity, yet the lake residents are being taxed to dredge? The court needs to give legislative remedial advice to the state Legislature.
