basically want to destroy wetlands to build a Bass Pro Shops..
this is almost as good as Richfield giving Cabalas Millions of dollars with the promise that it would bring in tourism..
it has failed miserably…
Sorry.. Bass Pro can come but not at the loss of wetlands..the price is way too high..
Did I miss something 
Looks they are trying to build a car lot not a Bass Pro Shop.
Anyway, so much for Gov. Walker for Sportsmen 
I heard they where going to build in Rodgers, but doesn’t make sense with Cabelas their……….guy at work could of been full of bs though.

You may have missed it in the article. “The state Department of Natural Resources approved a permit for the project last year.” That was before Walker took office. Also, Bergstrom donated more money to Tom Barret than he did for Walker
never been to a bass pro shop but i 
them for backing out of this deal.
just because the press wrote it doesnt mean that its the whole truth 
just sayin
its good to hear that BPS isn’t going to contribute to destroying wetlands..
wetlands must be preserved…there are too few of them to begin with.. now is not the time to destroy what we have left..
not for a Bass Pro.. and certainly not for a Car dealership as well..
It would sure be nice when something like this comes up they would put up pictures of the area in question. Why the DNR approved it then another part of the DNR tried to shut it down. What gives some one up there having power issues. YES I CAN ……NO YOU CAN`T

I totally agree 
Being in a business that deals with DNR wet land permits on a regular basis I can tell you some of the areas the DNR considers wet lands would not support life unless they were rehabbed and the DNR has no intentions of sticking money into such areas. Why shouldn’t someone be able to improve these types of grounds?
For the DNR it is all about the all mighty dollar purchasing permits in such situations and not protecting anything that might be living there. That is a liberals job 
Not saying that would be the case in this situation, very hard to tell without a visit or pictures as mentioned. Just saying at time the DNR steps way out of bounds with there power hungry attitude.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about saving life filled wet lands, but against tire filled misquote heavens that support nothing, but are considered a wet land by the DNR!
In my opion (which doesn’t matter much) there is not much if any wildlife living in this area. If anybody knows Green Bay the area is on Lombardi Ave just off Hiway 41. The Packers own alot of land just east of this.

That was my point and I can’t agree more in this type of situation.
From the way it sounds, filling it won’t hurt a thing plus make the land useful once again.
The whole thing over land like this is a battle on who is going to get money for permitting. Bass Pro probably backed out of it to avoid the hassle 
Here’s the part that ticks me off!!! Yes I want jobs created, but just like everything else DNR related, some politician wants to go over their head. Go through the process!!! Fill it in if it makes sense, but mitigate to keep the same amount of wetland (or as much as possible) and if it is a tire infested mosquito maker, make it so there is more flow in it… and it will still be a skeeter maker!!!
