A Case of Why WI Voters Should Show ID

[Riot]

Kudos to Dale Schultz for standing up for Wisconsin's beautiful landscape, and against political lying.

Speaking afterward to explain his departure from the Republican ranks on the issue, R-Dale Schultz said he was against the GOP compromise largely because of provisions that would have allowed the state Department of Natural Resources to exempt mining companies from environmental protections. He cited changes to current law that would have allowed mining companies to fill in rivers, streams and shorelines.

He said such provisions led to his disagreement with fellow Republicans, who argued their bill did not weaken environmental laws.
