Yeah, what a bunch of fucks. With all the chatter about civil war breaking out over this that or the other thing, I tell you what, Wisconsin's got a shot at first peg on the map. The last thing a landowner wants to hear is some slick telling them how much their town stands to gain from a giant tumor sucking the life out of it while he stuffs his pockets with cash.

"'This is the Driftless area for Christ’s sakes,' said John Hawn, who retired to the area several years ago."

Right? WTF
