Texas Town Welcomes Toxic Hudson River Sludge

Don't spout such ridiculous nonsense! Do you really think that liberal New Yorkers want PCB waste sent to Texas? We have been trying to see that big waste companies do what's right for many years. Not too easy!
Think about it Mr. HolyerthanThou, someone is making big money. And I will bet that it involves some conservative Texans. It is not being forced on your state!
Most of my fellow NY liberals don't even want it to be moved until there is a safe way of dealing with it.
So get off your high horse. I don't like seeing Texas put in a bad light. My grandchildren are Texans.

Pathetic! Instead of cleaning up their own mess, NY State and GE quietly do an end-run around basic responsibility. And, dump it on a largely unsuspecting/uninformed public far, far away from its' source.
Typical Liberal, Northern US mentality...
Once again... normal, reasonable, conservative TEXANS are paying the price for their Yankee Greed-driven indisgressions- just like before! Why should we be shouldering the burden- the eftermath of their bad deeds and lack of responsibility for it after the fact?
Bury it in your own damn back yard/State! You have the space -and the money!!! Do the right thing and stop dumping your trash -toxic or not- in my land~!
Clean it up first! The article clearly states that it could've been cleaned up, but that GE was let off the hook for the cost of clean-up by way of a wreckless profiteer group that owns land in North Texas.
Has anyone thought about how much of the US is downstream from the Lubbock area?
