Remember that when you see dirty air alerts for Wisconsin;s lakeshore counties. Walker got polluter-obeisant administrator Scott Pruitt before he left the EPA which he disgraced to exempt miles of SE Wisconsin's Lake Michigan counties from routine air quality standards.
Making sure Foxconn's projected 796-ton annual airborne emissions were 'legal. All lauded by the statewide chamber of commerce, Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce.'
You can't miss the symmetry, as the WMC's former general counsel and environmental policy guy has been running the air section of the DNR under Walker for nearly eight years.
Also remember that during the first days of his first term, Walker's 'chamber of commerce mentality'DNR got rid of ozone-alert early warnings, thus when notices are actually distributed, the conditions leading up it were known but withheld from people with asthma, heart disease, and other health risks.
