The elementary school in Libby was damaged during snow removal recently, and raw vermiculite poured out of the resulting hole in the wall. At least one child picked up the dangerous substance delivered courtesy of W.R. Grace. Will Libby ever be clean? Has the government done the best it can for Libby residents? And will the government’s case against Grace ever actually make it to court? Read Vince Devlin’s story in Thursday’s paper, then come back and drop us a line.
I’ve blogged recently about how WR Grace wants to get back in business and limit its liability for asbestos diseases. Frankly it looks to me like WR Grace should be paying “through the nose” so to speak and should really be held responsible for ALL of the damage that they caused in Libby and elsewhere.
Why should the taxpayers have to pay the bill to clean up WR Grace’s mess? We shouldn’t.
