has leaked TONS of waste into the surrounding countryside and the Columbia River. It's horrifying and outrageous.

I worked with a woman who used to be employed there and she had the attitude "whenever they want more money, they find a leak". Really a cavalier attitude. I thought of her when I heard this story and wondered if her cancer had appeared yet. Seriously, I know of entire families who lived in the area who died from cancer.

I'm glad Inslee is all over this -- I'm so grateful he's our new Governor.
