Quadgraphics Shows Up Milwaukee County

From the Business Journal:

Quad/Graphics Inc. has donated a conservation easement on its 325-acre Camp/Quad parcel in the town of Erin to Tall Pines Conservancy, a nonprofit land trust dedicated to preserving natural areas in and adjoining northwestern Waukesha County.

“When we purchased the land in 1997 we always intended for it to remain in its pristine condition,” Quad/Graphics president and CEO Joel Quadracci said. “Designating Camp/Quad as a conservancy is an ironclad way to ensure the land can never be developed commercially, residentially or otherwise and that it will continue to serve as an environmental showpiece and education center for generations to come.”

Scott Walker, and certain members of the County Board, could learn a lot from QG about keeping their promises of a similar nature to protect nature, instead of selling the last of the county grounds for a school that doesn't belong there.

  1. Are you kidding me? The two have nothing in common. Man, you are stretching with you Walker Derangement Syndrome. Maybe they can name the syndrome after you, like capper-walker syndrome. Notice I gave you top billing.

  2. Gee, two promises made to preserve land, but only one was kept. Where's the disconnect, except in your cranium?

  3. The County Grounds, or at least a large portion of them were promised to be left in the public's hands (in fact some is zoned parkland), and now Milwaukee County is going back on that promise.
