The US Environmental Protection Agency - - an arm of the pro-business, pro-growth Bush administration - - wants to bring about modestly cleaner air, with less ozone, in 345 US counties.
The EPA didn't accept the plan endorsed unanimously by its own scientific panel for a more stringent approach, and backed a compromise.
Some of those counties are in Wisconsin - - Door, Kenosha, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine and Sheboygan - - but one conservative blogger from Milwaukee County, where ozone levels need improvement, thinks the EPA is wrong.
Stunning.
Or not.
Bet he doesn't have a kid with asthma. I do. and we notice it on bad air days. and his asthma is pretty mild . . . what about all those folks with severe respiratory problems? or don't they matter?

I'm with the previous poster -- I have a toddler with asthma and live in a city with ozone-polluted air. Terrible combo; see my blog post on this: http://blogs.discovery.com/cyberchondriacmom/2009/05/what-dirty-air-is-doing-to-ourcoughlungs.html
