Stop the budget proposal to eliminate the science bureau from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
Why is this important?
Governor Walker is using the budget deficit as justification to eliminate scientists from the Wisconsin DNR staff. This will make it very difficult, if not impossible, for Wisconsin to deal effectively with problems such as global climate change, nutrient overloading in lakes and rivers, and chronic wasting disease in whitetail deer. The elimination of the scientist bureau from the DNR seems to be consistent with Walker's overall attack on science.
