On Thursday, August 13th, the Senate Natural Resources Committee will hold a hearing about SB 133- the bill to Restore the Independent DNR Secretary.
In 1995, the Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources became a political appointee of the Governor. Concerns have surfaced. Should the WDNR Secretary be a political appointment or should they have experience in the field of natural resources and have worked their way to this position?
You can express your concerns on Thursday, August 13th, at 9:00 am at the State Capitol, Room 411 South, Madison, WI on this important issue.

The Canoe was drifting off the islands, and the time had come for the calling, that moment of magic in the north when all is quiet and the water still iridescent with the fading glow of sunset. Even the shores seemed hushed and waiting for the first lone call, and when it came, a single long-drawn mournful note, the quiet was deeper than before.
