Looks like the DEQ is backing off somewhat from holding Dow's hand. Only a year ago, an EPA memo surfaced offering a scathing critique of the DEQ and Granholm's handling of the dioxin issue. (http://lakesuperiorminingnews.net/2007/12/16/de…)

The first DEQ director, Russ Harding, works for the massive Mackinaw Center for Public Policy, that receives generous funding from Dow. During Harding's tenure as DEQ director, and now, he has proven an always willing defender of their interests. (http://lsmnopinion.wordpress.com/2009/11/24/mic…)

Good job!

What is not being told is why do the residents outside of the dioxin contaminated area have such high reading of it in their blood? What is being hidden and why is the State after Dow? Is it that the EPA and the DEQ are not wanting we the People to know the truth about dioxin?

Maybe it is time for the Michigan State University comes forth with their facts on dioxin in our diet. It has been years now since MSU turned out facts that corn fed animals are high in dioxin whereas legume fed animals are high in beta-carotene. About three years after the study was release, I heard a news blirp stating that this Study must not be sat on very much longer. Immediately following that announcement, the USDA came out with the grants for ethanol plants. Go figure.

Maybe we can just throw the symptoms under fibro-myalgia. I am sure DEQ wants a pay raise too.
