They won't have to put up any cash to fix a problem they created. And actually it will be our tax dollars footing the bill. Plus Massey will end up with the property the school sits on.<br/><br/>To me there is something just not right about that.

Which means Massey will get their way. They won’t have to put up any cash to fix a problem they created. And actually it will be our tax dollars footing the bill. Plus Massey will end up with the property the school sits on.

To me there is something just not right about that.

I grew up right next to DuPont Plant, and the same thing happened there. DuPont (or actually, one of its subcontractors) was eventually forced to clean up their act becaue of that study. (I still blame my constant respiratory issues on that!)<br/><br/>I hope something similar happens here... for the kids' sake! Figures.

In it they say they did an informal health survey and out of 125 homes surveyed 60 of those had children that attended this school and out of those 53 had health problems.

I knew it was close, but not mere FEET from the school!<br/><br/>I grew up across the river from a coal prep plant, and there was always coal dust all over everything. I can't imagine there being one of those right next to a school! I can't imagine anyone stupid enough to put kids next to one.<br/><br/>Has any investigation happened concerning the health of those kids? Surely there has been... I hope.
