Some neighbors of our favorite lake are asking to have it filled back up. Hell yes.
SOLE sure messed this one up. How many years have we been looking at that weed ridden pit now? It will look a whole lot better and the referendum is not going to pass anyway. (in my humble opinion)
If you get a chance stop by a SOLE meeting if your into the whole Laurel & Hardy / Abbott and Costello routine. This bunch of clowns couldn't gather enough brain power to put a kiddie pool in my back yard.
Thoughts?????

It would be nice if grumps could jump in on this. I was at a couple park board meetings where they talked about the DNR's view on this. I kind of zoned out on this part because they had already talked about the price this lake could cost.
But I think if they are not going to in the immediate future 'fix' it. When I say I think they have to I mean, fill it.
Because if it sits for so many years as it is, it becomes a wetland and then its not touchable for any reason. Just like the land next to Romano's it considered wet land and can not be touched, even though ed tried to.
I do not remember how many years it is before it would be considered a wetland, but that was discussed at a couple of these meetings.
I know there have been quite a few people who reserved a shelter at the park for reunions, and a wedding and were very disappointed in having to look at the lake as it is.
Yes I say filler up! This is not and has never been a lake. It is a mill pond. People that have owned it before Evansville bought it would not fix it. It was not cost effective to them.
The city has already wasted, what ~50K, on a proposal to make a proposal to dredge/re-engineer the lake?
Am I correct that the estimated costs are ~1 to 1.5 million to dig a new "lake" leota? How much will that raise the tax base? in a town whose best asset was it's lower tax rate than surrounding communities. The advantages to living in this community (cheaper housing, lower taxes) seem to be quickly disapearing. When the cost of living becomes equal to living close to Madison, Janesville, or Beloit then who will be willing to spend $5/gal*2gal/day to commute? Who will be left to pay for the 1-1.5$mil lake?
