Wisconsin governor hails ‘historic’ $10m settlement over forever chemicals but a mayor sees ‘drop in the bucket’
Wisconsin has reached a $10 million settlement with Tyco Fire Products to address PFAS contamination in the state's water supply. The lawsuit, filed in 2022, alleged that Tyco, a subsidiary of Johnson Controls, had been contaminating the area around a firefighting training center since the 1960s. While Governor Tony Evers called the settlement a "historic milestone," some local officials and residents expressed disappointment, viewing the amount as insufficient. AI
