If you'd like to be on or off this Upper Midwest (WI, IA, MN, MI, and pretty much anyone else interested) list, largely rural and outdoors issues, please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.

Interesting idea. If I'm not mistaken about a quarter of Wisconsin represents the lake bed of Glacial Lake Wisconsin.

"Saying the policy implications are huge, the northern representative said as much as 120,000 acres of wetlands in Oneida County could be reclassified as lakebeds and taken off the tax rolls."

"The federation claims the bill has “serious constitutional flaws” because it contradicts the Public Trust Doctrine, giving counties authority over navigable waters that belong to all citizens."

Thanks for ping, SJackson. I think this is pretty interesting. Seems to me like the issue might be having navigable water expanded to include previously deemed wetlands. Public access to that, eh?
