Not sure how many here are WI voters, but this is important to all who enjoy the Ice Age Trail and would like to see it continue to improve through stewardship acquisitions.

Governor Walker has proposed budget changes that would freeze all land acquisitions for the next 13 years. In other words, no more state money for land stewardship.

In this same budget proposal is a $220 million loan to build a new venue for the Milwaukee Bucs.

If our state can only afford one or the other, I know which one I prefer.

I suggest contacting legislators and the governor to let him know that the Ice Age Trail and land stewardship are important to those who live and visit here. I have done so and I urge others to take the same action. Being contacted by real people does affect how public officials see their duty.
