When I was a small child my moher called this area of God’s green earth the “garden spot of the world.” What a tragedy that today it has become a cesspool for poisons and the Army is producing even more, unwilling to even monitor more effectively the poison being emitted at the incineration plant. There is no way to know of the number and amount of poisons being emitted in plumes exiting the stacks whenever there is a furnace misfire, and everyone knows that continuous shutdowns mean something is failing each time. Better monitoring is available and the people deserve this added safety, by law. But nowadays it seems the norm in high places is that if you don’t like the law, do as you want. This is what the Army is doing in denying the people an available safer monitoring system that Sen. Richard Shelby supports. Trial lawyers, stand by, your day is coming. Paul Chastain |
