I was really pleased to find out that both of "my" legislators have signed on as co-sponsors for the Groundwater Protection bill. This is one of the issues that we lobbied for on Conservation Lobby Day. This is the specific one that I spoke about and told my story of our lake up north getting smaller and smaller each year.
I asked both Risser and Berceau...and they were two of the first to sign up!Yea!
The current call to action is to protect Wisconsin's drinking water. Imagine turning on your tap and having the water come out brown and stinky. This really happens...in Wisconsin. In areas where there are cracks in ground ( called karst) the manure that farmers spread on their fields in spring..seeps directly into drinking water.
All Wisconsin residents have the right to clean, safe drinking water. A first step is to make sure manure stays out of drinking water. We are looking for co-sponsors on a bill that would do just that. Want more information or to ask you legislators to sign on...click here.
The photo is from last summer...my boys and their cousins on our beloved Lake Tippicanoe...that is getting smaller each year.
