Milton City Council frustrated at DNR
The Milton City Council expressed frustration tonight at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource's response to a letter from the council.
The council sent a letter in July asking, among other things, that the DNR conduct air and water quality tests around the United Ethanol plant in Milton's industrial park.
Last week, the DNR sent a response declining to perform additional tests. It noted recent permit changes require the ethanol plant to test air quality when the DNR requests it.
But several council members said they didn't trust United Ethanol to test its own emissions. The council will send another letter requesting the tests to a higher level of the DNR.

The solution is called the EPA - environmental protection agency. No one trusts the DNR. Milton needs to go to the top. The EPA has stepped in already in other states for MAJOR fines against ethanol companies. Call Feingold and Kohl and move this along!

I guess it shows who the state government is out to protect -- and it isn't the citizens.
