The Voice of Reason on the Rock County Board RE: SNW Orders

The county board passed the proposed changes with a 22-2 vote.

   Many supervisors who originally supported amending the level to 7.5 feet said they changed their minds after touring the river and realizing 8 feet was an acceptable level that did not cause much damage to property and was a good compromise for boaters.

   “I just feel that 8 feet is feasible. It’s a little bit to help the businesses. It’s a little bit to help the landowners,” Supervisor Ivan Collins said.
