					<description><![CDATA[Upon attending a recent meeting, I discovered that the city’s proposed solar garden on the new water treatment plant grounds is unpopular with some folks who live nearby.

The project is to carry tar sands oil from Alberta to Superior, Wisconsin through the lands and freshwater lakes and rivers of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

					<description><![CDATA[Thanks to a Wisconsin Watch investigation, the whole country now knows that indigenous human remains were unearthed where Kohler plans to build their controversial luxury golf course in Sheboygan Wisconsin. Ancestral remains were found in seven locations, and we won’t know if additional remains will be disturbed until the bulldozers begin razing the old-growth forest.
