The U.S. Constitution may soon be on the chopping block, thanks to a reckless effort backed by some Republicans in Madison.
If that is what passes for normal in today’s dairy industry, then we need an entirely new normal. One place to start is strengthening Wisconsin’s prohibition on corporate farm ownership.
Walker and the DNR are trying quietly to put a band-aid over these disgusting and inhumane conditions which come straight from their growth-at-any-cost politics with low-key bottled water.

Billions in tax relief, more jobs, and a better environment in which to do business are the things smaller government and reduced regulations have brought to Wisconsin. It’s time the federal government did its part to help Wisconsin continue this positive momentum.
The Department of Natural Resources’ recent low-key roll-out of help for Kewaunee County residents dealing with contamination so great that they cannot drink nor should they bathe in their water highlights the DNR’s continued failures, lack of integrity, and continued lack of urgency in responding to Kewaunee’s health and water crisis.
