Science politicized – Dow Chem gets EPA admin fired

Two top representatives of EPA Administrator Chief Hack Stephen Johnson told EPA Region 5 Administrator Mary Cade to quit by June 1 or be fired.

Why?

Because she wanted Dow Chemical to do more to clean up years of dioxin waterway discharges from its Midland, Mich., headquarters.

As detailed in the graphic, Dow has a LOT of polluting history for which to answer.

And, it’s sad.

I’ve been to Dow HQ. It’s a beautiful campus. Midland is a nice large town/small city.

And, the Saginaw River and Saginaw Bay attract lots of anglers. But, you just can’t eat the fish there.

Dow not only refuses to do more cleanup, in the past, it has tried to get the state of Michigan to lower its dioxin standard, which is tougher than federal allowance. It also funded paid for a University of Michigan study, not peer reviewed, which claims dioxin soil levels have little to do with human activity.

If there were a “Military-Industrial Complex Hall of Shame,” Dow Chemical would be a first-year dishonoree.
