Friends Of Steve Kagen

Will the environmentalist friends of Steve Kagen take away more jobs from Wisconsin. From Congressman Kagen's own web site.

"As a physician I have been studying air quality for a quarter century. I deeply appreciate the connections between a healthy environment and healthy people. Wisconsin has a proud heritage of environmental activism, led by Aldo Leopold, Senator Gaylord Nelson - the father of Earth Day and our state’s Native Americans."

First, Mr. Kagen said he studied air quality since 1984, when he was 35 years old. What was he doing when he was 18 to 34? Steve Kagen didn't care about air quality till he started running for the 8th Congressional District. The bologna on his web site is just a good campaign sound bite. He didn't care till he needed the support and votes of the loony left. Back to the story.

From Charlie Sykes and The Washington Post.
"Environmentalists Seek to Wipe Out Plush Toilet Paper Soft Toilet Paper's Hard on the Earth, But Will We Sit for the Alternative?

ELMWOOD PARK, N.J. -- There is a battle for America's behinds.

It is a fight over toilet paper: the kind that is blanket-fluffy and getting fluffier so fast that manufacturers are running out of synonyms for "soft" (Quilted Northern Ultra Plush is the first big brand to go three-ply and three-adjective).

It's a menace, environmental groups say -- and a dark-comedy example of American excess.

The reason, they say, is that plush U.S. toilet paper is usually made by chopping down and grinding up trees that were decades or even a century old. They want Americans, like Europeans, to wipe with tissue made from recycled paper goods. " Environmentalists Seek to Wipe Out Plush Toilet Paper

So friends of Steve Kagen want to shut down more paper mills in Wisconsin? As Charlie said, first toilets, then light bulbs and now T P. P& G, Georgia-Pacific, are just two mills in Northeastern Wisconsin where jobs could be lost.

Steve Kagen will do anything he can to get reelected including doing what his friends want. So when Wisconsin suffers more lost jobs we can all thank Steve Kagen. What in the Cap and Tax bill will create job loses in Wisconsin. With friends like that who needs enemies. Thank you Steve Kagen.

Update, another great view from Lakeshore Laments. - "Enviros Declare War on Green Bay.
