The WMC group did it before for Menard's despite the company's polluting history, so it's no surprise that a well-connected Big Ag group which siphons off a lot of groundwater near the threatened Little Plover River
would also get - - from a committee again including a DNR rep - - the WMC's environmental honor.
Par for the course in a state where Walker directed the DNR to work with a "chamber of Commerce mentality," and also similarly from Trump through his corporatized, corrupted EPA, Interior Department, etc.
It's as much a poke in the eye to Wisconsin environmentalists than it is a door prize for the winner.
They'll have to retire the awardif when Foxconn wins despite, or because of, it's wetland-filling, farm-field bulldozing, clean-air contaminating, Lake Michigan-water-diverting, record-subsidy-setting work in Racine County.
