Absolutely sharing it with my fellow PCB activists here the Berkshires. We’re still fighting a travesty of a river cleanup settlement and slated mountain of a toxic waste dump- right next to the abused river, on porous soil over an aquifer and adjacent to schools and neighborhoods, agreed to by bought-out town officials in executive session after decades of GE’s bullying.
The power drunk EPA officials, corrupt courts, exhausted families, sick children, and obvious gross injustice are all so familiar.
There’s a story in progress here- perhaps if you do have fledgling journalists under your wing, it would be a perfect topic for you to guide them through cutting their teeth on.
This is def a job for me -- and it's local; however, gather a group together and I'll host a conversation. I can do overnights now...and the annual edition is still a month off...so sooner is better...
Around min 1:29:00 of your interview with Luella Kenney you use this phrase - "something in the American psyche..." Yes, very true. What is this mysterious element that blocks us from hearing/seeing/believing that such toxic places can exist, that they can be so harmful, and that government could possibly gaslight or deceive us? We are updating our earlier post, "A Tragic Blind Spot" and pointing to your story. Thank you!
