24th sootiest air in the country that is (<-story filed under “Going Green”!). That, after two terms of the green mayor and three (& a half) of the green county executive, add in a population which prides itself on it’s green cred….Who needs Republicans when legions of dutifully voting Plug-in Prius drivers can do the dirty work for you? The Koch Bros. are laughing all the way to the bank.

Update 1: Jim Powell gives ’em hell about our crappy air quality, and why self-satisfied enviros sit on their hands about it.
