Cabela's To Build on Wetlands Next to Lambeau Under Special Law
Lobbyists got Gov. Scott Walker to pass special law allowing building on wetlands for the Green Bay Packers and Cabela's.
When Gov. Scott Walker passed a special law for his lobbyist friends that would allow them to build a shopping mall on wetlands next to Lambeau Field in Green Bay — the prospective tenant, Pro Bass Shops said they would not be leasing there, as they do not use wetland for building sites.
Now however, the latest news is that Cabela's will be a tenant at that site. I guess Cabela's is not as environmentally friendly as Pro Bass Shops.
A disappointing aspect to this story is that it is the Green Bay Packers who are pushing for this building on wetlands.

As Wisconsin's team, and owned by thousands and thousands of Wisconsin citizens, you wouldn't think the Green Bay Packers would be pushing to build on wetlands.
I wonder if the Packer's owners (thousands of ordinary citizens) are happy the company they own is going to build on wetlands and I wonder if people will actually patronize a Cabela's that is built on wetlands.
