Another Dirty Air Alert For WI Lakefront Counties
As I've been reporting here, the air quality in Milwaukee and other Lakefront counties is again in a hazardous zone - - and your soon-to-be-senior US Senator supported easing electric generating smokestack emission regulations - - but the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources decided in Walker's first few weeks in office to discontinue air quality "watches" until an"advisory" is needed.
The current advisory began at 3:00 PM and was issued at 3:15, according to the DNR. I got my email at 4:00 PM.
By which time, we were already breathing bad air - - but how long had these conditions been building to this point?
