Wisconsin Water Pollution Runoff And Runaround

A lot has been written about Gov. Walker's just plain absurd suspension of years of work to get the algae food known as phosphorus out of Wisconsin waters, but there's a story in a larger story in the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram that takes the cake:

I was writing a story about the phosphorus rules a couple months ago and I asked a top DNR water guy how the EPA felt about delaying the rules for two years. He  said the governor’s office is handling that, so I sent an email to the governor’s press secretary asking how the EPA felt about the delay, and he responded that I should talk to the DNR, they were handling that.
