This bill is so dumb, it's gonna make it harder for me to enjoy the outdoors in WI. Why they gotta mess with our brush fires like this? It's gonna be a pain in the butt dealing with all the new regulations and restrictions. I don't see how this is gonna help anyone, just gonna make things more complicated for us regular folks. Can't believe they passed this crap.
