Law on Illinois Pollution Board Should Not Require Agriculture Expert
The Illinois Senate should reject Bartulis proposed rule that one of five Pollution Control Board members have agricultural expertise. Environmental issues are multi Faceted and require broad knowledge of air water and land. Board members Dumelle and Seamans bring diverse strengths in air pollution and sewage disposal, yet all must understand manure and landfills. A diverse background ensures fair informed decisions on fertilizer use and waste management.
