MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin Senate has passed a bill that would allow for shutting down an ozone monitor in Sheboygan County’s Kohler-Andre State Park on the Lake Michigan shoreline. The Senate approved the bill Tuesday with all Republicans in support, Democrats against. The monitor is one of 38 such sites around the state that’s part of Wisconsin’s air quality management program. The bill calls for removing it from the state’s plan submitted to the federal government this year. But if the plan is rejected, the monitor could be added back. Supporters, including the state chamber of commerce, say removing the monitor picks up ozone that drifts north from Chicago, forcing the county to adhere to tighter federal regulations to lower pollution. Opponents include environmental and public health groups. They say the monitor is needed to protect the public from pollution.
