When will people wake up.

A comment about the Berry Lake web site.
As you see the home page it seems something like NR 115 would be something that should be mentioned on the web site. O, maybe we should not talk about controversial issues concerning Berry Lake.

Wait, what's on the home page- here are the headlines.

If this is good news I would hate to see some bad news.

STATE BUDGET HAS GOOD NEWS FOR LAKES -
a message from the Wisconsin Association of Lakes...

O K, I know this may not be funny to some people ("hey lighten up"), but if people believe raising taxes are good , than you can't blame me for trying to funny.

It's easy to spend somebodies money when it's not yours, or is it your money?
Oh, by the way if you are a resident of Underhill, property taxes will go up 1% or more .
Hold onto your wallet's.
