Great Lakes Mayors Urging No Weakening Of Environmental Protections A group representing mayors from around the Great Lakes says it`s concerned about exemptions from environmental regulations being given by Wisconsin for the large Foxconn electronics factory planned for Racine County. The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative represents about
170 mayors. Initiative President John Dickert says the proposed Foxconn
plant could mean thousands of jobs. But Dickert recently told a forum at
the Society of Environmental Journalists annual conference that if
environmental regulations are compromised, other companies will come to
the Great Lakes region seeking exemptions and access to resources, like large amounts of water.... Ken Notes: Again I HOPE this is about process not about actual protections. I actually think this is the case because Foxconn does not have their head in the sand regarding the potential for a legislative shift in the future. If they do we are all in trouble. | ||
