So You Say, Governor Walker

Actions speak louder than words.

According to the Sierra Club, here's Gov. Walker's environmental record during his first year in office.

• Stopped all new wind energy projects in the state 
• Cut funding for the Gaylord Nelson – Warren Knowles Stewardship Funding by 30% 
• Undermined Wisconsin nationally recognized energy conservation program 
• Abolished the state Office of Energy Independence 
• Carved out a special exemption from wetlands protections for a campaign contributor 
• Eliminated the requirement that municipal water supplies be disinfected 
• Called a special session for the purpose of passing legislation to roll back water pollution and wetlands law 
• Appointed as DNR Secretary as state Senator with one of the worst environment voting records in the Legislature.
• Sought to severely weaken mining laws to benefit an Appalachian mining company that want to build a massive strip mine in our north woods

And don't forget our ATV and snowmobiling traditions, sez DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp.
