Replay: Let Them Eat Toxic Gumbo

Millions more dinners are being stripped from tables because congress allowed the tax burden for the cost of cleaning up corporate chemical disasters to shift from the corporations to the general public. John Rumpler (President of the Board for Environmental Action) and Alex Fidis (superfund advocate at U.S. PIRG) examine how untold gulf-coast residents may be left to eat toxic gumbo because corporate polluter's go unchecked and congress allowed the toxic-clean-up superfund to go bankrupt. Loopholes in the law, such as "act of god," leave the corporate polluters immune from having to correct the public's loss of the right to a healthy environment. Rumpler and Fidis offer some cost-saving, common sense solutions that deserve repeating as we struggle to learn lessons from the human-created disasters of negligence and greed exposed by hurricane Katrina.
