Have you wondered how Wisconsin has gone from being a conservation leader to a state that has failed to establish a basic standard for the contaminant PFAS in groundwater? The League of Women Voters is co-sponsoring a virtual program on Tuesday, January 10 th at 6:30 p.m. that
helps to answer this question. 

The evening program will highlight the shift of power that has occurred over the last 10 years between state’s three branches of government—legislative, executive, and judicial—established in the constitution as co-equal branches. The impacts of specific laws, court rulings and the inability of the legislature to act on executive appointees will be discussed. The program concludes with specifications and policy changes that can help bring back the balance of power in Wisconsin.

The program is based on a recent publication of Wisconsin Green Fire, a non-partisan organization whose mission is to advance science-informed analysis and policy solutions to address Wisconsin's greatest conservation challenges.

Join us and 18 local Leagues across the state co-sponsoring this event to better
understand how environmental and conservation policies may be stymied or thwarted and what you can do to ensure that Wisconsin maintains their environmental legacy.
