It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in southern Wisconsin. But the real spirit of the holidays just began when a hearing examiner denied the request to raise the water levels of Lake Koshkonong. The Lake District has been fighting the DNR to raise the water levels for several years now and it appears this decision should safeguard the Rock-Koshkonong Watershed for years to come. Although the decision can be appealed, its beginning to look like we have some leaders in government who are not willing to sell out the environment. Three cheers for Administrative Law Judge William S. Coleman. If you would like to read more opinion on the lake level issue, click here.
Now that Debi Towns has announced she will not repeal the recount, Democrat Kim Hixson is our new state representative in the 43rd district. Congratulations Professor Hixson!! This is great, great news for Rock County and another reason to celebrate. Things are looking up. It feels good for a change.
