We are urging you NOT to pass legislation that would fast track the mine permitting process. We feel it is particularly important to adhere to existing policy when there is an actual mine proposal up for consideration. We ask that you remember that you were elected to represent the people of Wisconsin, Not Special Interest and Big Money.

I have been staring at my inbox and the sheer volume of messages from folks who are genuinely terrified about what this mining legislation means for our water is just overwhelming in the best way possible. It feels like the offices in the capitol are trying to bury this under a pile of paperwork before anyone notices but we are definitely noticing and I am still tracking every single one of these permit updates even if the process feels like moving through thick mud.

These politicians seem to forget who put them in office. My water and my land are worth more than some mining Corp profits

Disappointed that this is even on the table. We need real oversight not shortcuts.

Enough with the backroom deals. Let the normal review process work so our land isnt ruined for a quick buck.

Big money wins again if this passes. Slow down and do it right.

Protect our state! Fast tracking permits is just a way to skip safety checks and we all know it.
