In reply to the discussion: (Alaska) Senate votes to ease cruise ship wastewater rules [View all]davidpdx
(22,000 posts)15. I agree with you, but most people outside DU probably won't do it
The legislature was wrong to overturn the will of the people. If this happened in a more liberal state you can bet the righties would be screaming. Dumping waste into the ocean will kill the sea and everything in it. Forget about eating any seafood that comes from Alaska. Eww, sludge filed seafood.
