You Don't Have To Be An "Environmentalist" To Be Outraged By This Case

[reposted due to technical problem] Wisconsin's lakes, rivers and streams, as common waterways, belong by law and the State Constitution to the people of Wisconsin - - all the people - - yet the lengths certain people with money and a sense of entitlement will go to tamper with and damage these public waterways for
their own private uses boggles the mind.
The couple did not have state permits when they began building a stone wall in August 2009, damaging more than 10,000 square feet of lake shore and bed, Van Hollen said in a statement. They also dumped 70 cubic yards of sand on the lake bed without a permit in August and September of 2009.
This took place on Upper Nashotah Lake, where
others find spiritual renewal.

It is a
masterful spin by the self-described not-for-profit Blue Shield of California to announce that it is returning all but two percent of its profits to its customers, as though this were some act of humble generosity. It’s a little like a supermarket announcing that from now on it’s going to give back (almost) all of your change. (It’s actually worse than that, as I’ll explain.)

Rep. Speier takes a different tack from Senate legislation.
by Brian Leubitz
Sen. Durbin has already introduced the "Main Street Fairness Act" in the Senate to create something of a national sales tax, but Rep. Jackie Speier is looking for another way. She's looking to simply authorize states to collect the taxes.
n July, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., introduced a Main Street Fairness Act with support from trade organizations such as the National Retail Federation and the Retail Industry Leaders Association; both groups voiced support for the Womack-Speier bill, as well.
But Speier said her bill is "dramatically different" from Durbin's in that his creates a national sales tax covering all states, while hers authorizes states to collect their own.
