This is just one of the many posts and substantial news coverage on EPA Region V (Chicago) and Dow Chemical company this week.
Among the minimum actions that are required:
* A Congressional probe into corrupt influence behind the sacking of Regional Administrator Mary Gade;
* Appointment of an independent counsel to determine whether ethics or other laws have been violated;
* A review by EPA's inspector General;
* Most importantly, swift action to compel dioxin cleanup by Dow Chemical of a major Great Lakes watershed it has fouled at the expense of public health and the environment for decades.
