Walker refuses to defend his disregard of drinking water safety
I'm sorry I can't take your call right now; pass the chips, and Go Bucks!
Props to the Wisconsin State Journal's Steve Verberg for a comprehensive review of the way Walker and the pro-pollution hacks he installed atop the DNR systematically slowed the regulation of harmful contaminants in state waters.

Wisconsin's protections against new drinking water pollutants slowed under Scott WalkerVerberg's review is a devastating, infuriating review of Walker's eight-year disregard of the people's water and public health; the reporting exceeds my own efforts in these matters and I salute him for his analysis and precision:
Of the three governors who served full terms since the state’s groundwater law was enacted, Walker is the only one whose administration never initiated the setting of health-based standards for new pollutants.
As a result, it is taking years longer for the state to dispel uncertainty about risks posed by a growing mix of contaminants flowing from household taps, reduce consumption of the chemicals and help replace contaminated wells.And here is the most galling line in Verberg's reporting:
Walker couldn’t be reached for comment for this story.And, of course, Walker couldn't be reached for comment, let alone for a single syllable of discussion or defense - - or even a verbalized "no comment" - - though Walker uses Twitter to showcase how busy and engaged he is when he wants to be:
Every American should be happy that Mueller report showed that @realDonaldTrump did not collude with Russia to influence the 2016 elections. We should also be happy that #Foxconn picked WI for largest economic development project in state history. Sadly, some don’t like either.
