I hope everyone sent a petition in voicing grave concern for the health of anyone exposed to his area, or the groundwater (maybe even in your area). It sounds like the city plans to just put a layer of dirt over this 40-plus years of pesticide production pollution, and call it a night. Then they can put a school, park or playground there to be cleaned up at taxpayers expense, while the company skips off cleanly to another town under the guise of bankruptcy, and pollutes some other town that may cover up the embarrassing crime and health issues as well. After all, this treatment of our city does not come off as very "green."
