In case you missed it, the Sustain Rural Wisconsin Network is hosting a Citizen Water Lobby Day in Madison's capitol on Wednesday, February 8. There is a free bus from La Crosse (check the RSVP site to see if there are seats left). But you don't need to be on the bus to attend. Visit and sign in at the Facebook page for more details.
Those from Vernon County may meet with Rep. Lee Nerison at 1 p.m. in his office (thank you Guy for arranging this!) Currently a big issue for Vernon (and other) County residents is the lack of access to public waterways because of confusing and restrictive railroad "trespassing" laws.
At 1:30 we will meet with Rep. Jill Billlings, Rep. Steve Doyle, and Senator Jennifer Shilling. '
Those who sign up will get a list of pertinent bills and talking points.
There will also be opportunities to network with others from around the state and learn about other water quality initiatives. If you need ideas for what to talk about, check out this series of articles by Ron Seely of the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism.
You can also sign the petition!
