Gov. Scott Walker and legislative leaders said Friday they would move quickly to enact a bill that would allow a developer to build on a wetland near Lambeau Field, even as the retailer envisioned for the development announced that it would not build on such a site.

Walker’s comments came after Bass Pro Shops issued a statement saying the company does not favor building a store where wetlands are present.

The Missouri-based retailer had earlier discussed with a developer building a store at Highway 41 and Lombardi Ave. in Ashwaubenon near the home of the Green Bay Packers.

The development has been slowed over wetlands concerns, prompting the Republican governor to write a bill this month that would allow a developer to sidestep a standard water quality review by the Department of Natural Resources.

The bill cleared an Assembly committee Thursday, after language was added to narrow the focus of the bill to appease conservation groups.

The Assembly plans to vote on the bill Wednesday.

While the thought of impacting the environment to allow further development is concerning it isn’t the scariest part of the story.  Did you catch this part?

…prompting the Republican governor to write a bill…

Last I checked the legislative branch was authorized to write bills for which the executive branch can approve or appeal.  We have started down a slippery slope.
