Wisconsin SWCD overhaul sparks county board debate
County officials clash over SB 72 reorganizing soil and water conservation districts into county land conservation committees. Proposals transfer the BSWCD to the agriculture department, set two nonboard appointees per committee, and require county plans for erosion control with up to 75 percent state funding. Some praise increased visibility. others warn of loss of local control and reduced board authority.
