Hold our elected leaders accountable. [Updated] Even for Wrong-Way, Pants-on-Fire, Science-Denying Scott Walker, this was a jaw-dropping-fact-checking category-busting new low - - Walker Contends Hes Left Wisconsins Environment Cleaner Than When He Found It - - because it is: * Refuted by a catastrophic gasoline pipeline break in a Jackson, WI marsh and farm community. * Refuted by facts, such as multiple frac sand contamination events, including two in the St. Croix River. * Refuted by a federal list of 75 deficiencies in water pollution plans and policies. * Refuted by increased airborne manure spreading on farm fields supplied by ever-larger dairies. * Refuted by human fecal waste spreading that was illegal, but didnt even merit drinking water inspections by the same Walker DNR which has cut back pollution inspections and enforcement - - and only slapped the fecal spreader polluters wrist. * Refuted by a 50,000 gallon Enbridge oil pipeline spill. * Refuted by the DNRs levying a mere $464 fine against a one-million gallon manure spill polluter. * Refuted by a known dairy farms pollution being no barrier to a pitch for bigger permits. * Refuted by the DNRs environmental award to a known polluter. * Refuted by delaying phosphorous pollution in state waterways for another 25 years. Even for Walker, that was a whopper. Like Rush Limbaugh claiming the airwaves are a more civil format now than before he sat in front of a microphone. Do you think Walkers now so over-confident he can start just messing with us? -- thepoliticalenvironment.blogspot/2014/10/proof-that-wi-is-not-cleaner-than.html
