State's groundwater to be focus of hearings
MADISON — Some Wisconsin lawmakers say they’re going to research groundwater problems.
State Rep. Spencer Black, a Madison Democrat, and Sen. Mark Miller, a Monona Democrat, lead the Senate and Assembly environmental committees. Black said groundwater levels have dropped in the Fox Valley, southeastern Wisconsin and Dane County.
Black and Miller plan to hold a hearing on Wednesday to listen to experts discuss problems with groundwater safety, quality and levels. Black says the lawmakers want to gather information for potential legislation.

No need to test. There's been something in the water in this state for a looooong time.
