You know it's spring in Milwaukee when...

....the Milwaukee Metropolitain Sewage District is dumping millions upon millions of gallons of untreated wastewater into Lake Michigan. This, despite the three billion (with a 'B') dollar Deep Tunnel Project that was supposed to make such dumping a once-a-century occasion. Instead, the billions were spent, and the mind-boggling pollution continues. Indeed, Milwaukee doesn't even need a heavy downpour for the District to start dumping (just a typical slow-moving spring front), nor will the District even wait for the Tunnel to be full. Friday's dumping started when the Tunnel was only half-full!
