WI lakeshore counties' ozone alert. Won't be the last.

Remember when you see dirty air alerts for Wisconsin lakeshore counties that Walker got Pruitt before he left the EPA 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.'

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 broadcast, the conditions leading up it were known but withheld from people with asthma, heart disease, and other health risks.
