Wetlands bill eases development, but worries environmentalists

By Bill Lueders | January 9, 2012

Republicans in the state Legislature have unveiled a long-awaited bill to revamp state wetlands policy.

Wisconsin wetlands seen as threat to jobs

By Bill Lueders | November 20, 2011

On Feb. 2, 2011, the Legislature voted to exempt a little patch of land, less than a mile down the road from the Green Bay Packers’ Lambeau Field, from the state’s wetlands rules, once called “the strongest wetland protections in the country.” The bill, passed on World Wetlands Day, will let up to three acres of the so-called Bergstrom wetland be filled with no additional permits or process.
