OK, what is it that you suggest we do?

Wisconsin is corrupt. Very corrupt. What might work for you in squeaky clean Vermont, or wherever, is not going to work here in Wisconsin.

It's just not.

Wisconsin had an extraordinarily well-functioning state government in the very recent past.

I agree it will take some drastic measures. The article states that the plant needed to be located in the great lakes region since it requires so much water to clean the glass used in the plant, and if they're being allowed to dump toxic chemicals into that water that likely violates international water treaties that exist with Canada, not to mention the other states that depend on the great lakes and the waterways that they feed, for tourism, drinking water, etc. Any, and maybe all, of these parties should sue Wisconsin to stop this deal, or at least stop the environmental impact that is being allowed to go unchecked.
