Well, the majority thinks the proposed legislation indeed removed massive environmental protections, so the majority voted it down.
Democracy. It's a good thing
You're prejudiced? You assume things about groups of people based upon your assumptions? Glad to see you admit that up front. Saves you from having to deal with individuality and reality, doesn't it?
You're wrong about the snake, but don't let reality change your prejudices.
Try the AP. The Milwaukee JS. Etc.
Better to just face it: the majority voted down this bill
whose only point was to strip mining regulations and environmental protections.
The only way the company could make money was if those regulations - which cost money - were removed.
They would not be. The company dropped out when the vote didn't fly through and the people of Wisconsin stood up to the rushed passage.
Good for Wisconsin's environment, it's streams and rivers, it's people. Oh, yeah: especially the native Americans whose lands would be negatively impacted.
This bill wasn't about jobs, it was about stripping the environment. Walker's Wisconsin is a disaster - month after month of massive job losses in the private sector as soon as Walker's budget kicked in. The inherited deficit still there. Walkers budget 140 million in the hole. Removal of worker rights in the face of complete cooperation regarding cutting pay and benefits. Walker is ruining Wisconsin faster than Lake Michigan can erode our family lakefront in Racine. Oh, yeah - I do care about Wisconsin, and how dare you arrogantly lecture me that I can not.
