Air Quality: Who Cares?

Well, if the warnings are correct - the business community may care! As well as the taxpayers. If the warnings the were sent out with plans for Clean air action days come true, more regulations for businesses and costs to taxpayers are a very real possibility. Here's the description of what could happen:

. . . over the next couple of years, there is still a very real possibility that the City of Madison and Dane County could find themselves in non-attainment for ozone. If that were to happen there would be significant additional environmental regulations for businesses, industry and government which could hamper economic growth and also cost taxpayers. The best course of action is to aggressively administer voluntary measures that keep the County out of non-attainment.

Voluntary. Are we doomed? Or will the community help make sure this doesn't happen?
