STATE BUDGET UPDATE
The state budget that was approved last week includes funding for water monitoring of both Petenwell and Castle Rock.  The approved budget included $150,000.00 for each of the next 2 years, a total of $300,000.00.  We will work closely with the DNR and rely on their leadership to accomplish our mission to improve water quality.  This is a HUGE success!!
Rep. Marlin Schneider said it this way in his June 30, 2009, monthly report in the Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune, "There are many more provisions that are critically important to fixing our state's fiscal situation in general and to central Wisconsin in particular.  These include projects like rebuilding the Easton Dam and studying pollution in the Petenwell flowage to improve the imperiled water quality of Adams County".
