Unemployment would destroy this town worse than pollution. Maybe both things are bad and we need actual solutions?

The company made $80M last year. They could afford cleanup. Instead they lobby and poison us. Shut. It. Down.

False choice. Better filtration tech exists. Demand retrofitting, don't just pick poison or poverty.

Easy to say shut it down when it's not YOUR paycheck. What happens to the 600 families next month?

My grandpa fished that river for 50 years. The fish are already dying. How is that acceptable?
