CRAWFORD COUNTY - The CAFO Study Group held what was potentially their last meeting on Friday, Oct. 9. The purpose of their meeting was to finalize the study group’s report for the Crawford County Board of Supervisors.

The report went to the Crawford County Land Conservation Committee for review and approval on Tuesday, Oct. 13. County Conservationist Dave Troester, UW-Extension Community Development Coordinator Jessica Jane Spayde, and Crawford Stewardship Project’s Forest Jahnke presented the report to the Crawford County Board at their meeting coming on Tuesday, Oct. 20.
Almost 20 citizens were present at the virtual meeting anticipating the opportunity to provide public input at the meeting. However, apparently the ‘public input’ agenda item has been permanently stricken from the county board’s agenda. The theory, apparently, is that county board supervisors are available to receive input from their constituents outside of county board meetings. Some questioned whether this is legal, and whether it is consistent with the spirit of American democracy.
