Walkerites would kill WI water/air regs, following Trump's head start

Federal and Wisconsin pollution enablers are doing a dirty two-step.

* Scott Walker's 'chamber of commerce mentality' GOP-led government is waiving routine environmental reviews and water management for Foxconn's gargantuan outburst of sprawl into ag and open lands;

* His Legislative allies are working to end state clean air and wetland protections;

* And the Trump administration is busy removing the Federal rules that coordinate with and can backstop Wisconsin rules and law, as The New York Times reports today.

To date, the Trump administration has sought to reverse more than 60 environmental rules, according to a New York Times analysis, based on research from Harvard Law School’s Environmental Regulation Rollback Tracker, Columbia Law School’s Climate Tracker and other sources.

I noted this state-federal con in November, and even earlier, when writing about the environmental favors and deregulation which Walker and the Legislature, encouraged by the WMC, were handing to Foxconn:

[As I wrote] on July 29th about Walker and Trump and Foxconn:

And here's a major con in Walker's plan...we all know that Trump's EPA, with the cooperation of Wisconsin's AG Brad Schimel, is wiping out federal environmental clean air and water rules and protections - - which is why we are seeing news stories like this:

Trump taking hatchet to EPA

And Trump had said in the campaign he wanted to crush the agency, leaving "a little bit."

Does that sound like a reliable way to keep Wisconsin's waters and air unpolluted, or to honor the state's constitutional guarantee to accessible, enjoyable and healthy water, still summarized this way?
