Glenn Grothman, Wisconsin's pet idiot, strikes again.
First noticed this one here:
A new bill to allow the Gogebic Taconite iron mining company to bar the public from using public access land on an eight-square-mile parcel near their proposed mine site. This is an area that attracts people from all over the country to enjoy the excellent trout fishing and hunting.
Announced late on Friday afternoon before the long Labor Day weekend, the bill is being fast-tracked and may pass into law before the end of September. It is up for a public hearing this Wednesday and is scheduled to be voted out of committee on Thursday.
The bill itself can be read
here.
First it was armed paramilitary guards without the legal right to be in the state, now it's shutting the whole area off. If they're that keen on keeping the public away from what they're doing, it makes me a little more than a little worried. No one hates the light like roaches...
