Illinois Officials Worry About Pollution From Foxconn Plant

Lake County officials say they are concerned about the possible threat to the environment offered by a massive Foxconn plant coming to nearby southeastern Wisconsin.  A resolution was unanimously passed Tuesday to ask Wisconsin officials to reconsider the waiving of environmental regulations for the project.  Changing the standards, they say, “will compromise the environmental integrity and resiliency” of Lake County’s natural resources.  Just last month the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources released a statement saying it is considering the potential impacts while considering Foxconn permits.
