Time to spend the money they set aside to address PFAS
One fundamental right we should all be able to agree on is the right to enjoy clean drinking water. Everyone in Wisconsin deserves the right to pour themselves a clean glass of water straight from their tap without having to worry about how it could impact their health. There should be no politics involved. But in Wisconsin, it has been more than one year since the state set aside $125 million to help battle contamination from forever-chemicals known as PFAS. While the money has been allocated, the Legislature has given itself the power to decide how the money should actually be spent, and day after day they continue to squander that opportunity. Meanwhile, people on French Island an in more than 100 other Wisconsin communities continue to see PFAS contamination in their water supply. On French Island they have been drinking only bottled water for years now. Our neighbors have been more proactive. Michigan and Minnesota have started groundwater PFAS detection programs. The Wisconsin Legislature has the power to do the same, but continues to ignore the problem, yet all they have to do is sign a check and spend the money they have already allocated.
