WI DNR says air quality in Wisconsin is "good" now. Seriously?
The DNR's air quality website says this right now:
I see "good" green bars in three rural counties - - Ashland, Grant and Oneida - - and in counties with bigger populations - - Milwaukee, Manitowoc, Racine, Sheboygan, Eau Claire - - unhealthy orange, and a red in Kenosha.
Now look: I know there are readings to average and double-check.
But remember, Walker's 'chamber of commerce mentality' DNR in early 2011 reduced the dirty air notifications by ending 'early-warning' air pollution buildup advisories.
And then earlier this year, Walker convinced the EPA to exempt much of SE WI from stronger air pollution standards and enforcement, so twice Walker's DNR managers have either fisted more pollution on the populace or made it harder to discover what is really in the air.
Dismissive neglect, times two.

You can use that "We don't have time to do that anymore" excuse so long.....I saw so many excessive meetings that were obvious to see who wasn't "on board". Also, employees going months and years under dubious personal actions and scrutiny.
