There have been several "air alerts" during the past month. I try to post all of them here but I know I missed a few. It is a little troubling to me that more people seem to be up in arms about second hand smoke in public places than are concerned about air pollution caused by cars and factories. I am pretty sure that cars and factories cause more health problems than second hand smoke.
Today's Press-Gazette chastised area Republican lawmakers for holding up a vote on the Great Lakes Compact!!!
Astonishingly, Republican lawmakers who represent the Great Lakes Basin voted with their misguided leaders to prevent the vote. Shame on our local GOP representatives, Garey Bies, Frank Lasee, Al Ott, Phil Montgomery, Gary Tauchen,
John Nygren and Karl Van Roy.
My sentiments exactly! (The grandchildren of these so-called "representatives" will also be ashamed of them.) The paper's editors need to remember these things come endorsement time. Read the full editorial HERE.
Quote of the season from an article in yesterday's Press-Gazette:
"Ethanol plants are buying all the corn and the government is paying farmers to grow corn (instead of other crops). It's causing shortages of everything. We are the only country in the world that sticks our food in the gas tank. Instead of paying high gas prices, we'll be paying high gas prices and high food prices."
-John Hubbard, owner of Gallagher's Pizza in Green Bay
(This guy really gets it.)
