Jauch Blasts GOP on Stewardship

Sen. Jauch said the Republican philosophy on land stewardship can be distilled to, "Sell as much as you can and make as many dollars as possible."

He also said that the Republicans are "lacking respect for a land ethic," and the Republican proposal "would decimate the concept of stewardship."

Rep. Rhoades responded that asking for oversight isn't partisan, it's "practical fiscal management." She said legislators "don't have the foggiest idea" what's being spent by the state to purchase land due to a veto from Gov. Doyle in the last budget.

"We are operating in the dark," she said.
