Public Trust Doctrine affects the Couture proposal

Preserve Our Parks’ Position Paper on how the Public Trust Doctrine affects the Couture proposal

​

This position paper has been distributed to decision makers in the State, County and City to explain POP’s stand. It also has been sent to ecologically-focused organizations throughout Wisconsin asking their support and financial help in the battle, including legal action if necessary. More than just a local issue, rejecting Public Trust Doctrine undoubtedly would lead to widespread commercial development of land-filled areas of lakes, rivers and creeks across the state. Once there’s a foot in the door….

 

We also appeal for help from concerned individuals. To offer support, please contact POP President John Lunz at (414) 461-7288, email us at info@preserveourparks.org or write to:
