I'd more or less predicted it, but it's official:
The Wisconsin DNR's proven wetland-filling, climate-change information-scrubbing and 'chamber of commerce' anti-environmental tool is bringing her Donald Trump worship and McDonald's store management skills to a senior regional EPA position.
Much of the health of the five Great Lakes which hold 20% of the world's freshwater supply are now in the hands who brought fear, poor morale and despair to the once-proud DNR.
Walker will replace her with someone just as reliably-rightwing and ideologically-robotic - - someone who will push ahead with the predicted watershed damage at the Foxconn site - - because, as she said, less environmental oversight and faster wetland filling, stream diversion and construction on shorelines and into lake beds is a good thing - - or at the Kohler golf course ticketed for a Lake Michigan shoreline nature preserve, or at the 26,000-hog CAFO near Ashland's water supply in a pristine Lake Superior bay - - but perhaps with a smaller appetite for agency-wide Halloween parties.
If that's the good news, God help us.
