Thursday
1/31/08 Dow Chemical issued a press release that was a bit misleading:
“Joint Dow/MDEQ Dioxin Meeting Canceled”— so read the opening
title. As a result of the headline a few news outlets and a number of
citizens were left with the impression the quarterly meeting was
canceled which it is not. DEQ and EPA will host this meeting. Please
plan on attending. One needed to read the body of the press
release where the message stated the meeting would go on without Dow's
participation. http://www.michigan.gov/documents/deq/deq-whm-hwp-dow-2-7-2008-CommMeeting-Final-agenda_223275_7.pdf
