Renard Island Update

My goals for Renard Island remain:

* Safest practical closure. I remain hopeful that if clay is provided it will be used to prevent precipitation washing PCBs out of the island.

* Permanent foot and emergency traffic access to the island. (My understanding is that it's too shallow for any rescue boats to get close.)

Ideally past Green Bay Council and Brown County Board members would have had the vision to block a dump next to is among the busiest parks in Brown County. They didn't. Apparently the "we could use it for..." argument won the day. OK, how about we remember that now? Please at least consider leaving the infrastructure in place required to access the island. Without that it can never be used for anything.
