The Norfolk Southern Train derailment in Ohio was a wake-up call for many of us on how easily and often derailments like that are happening. It opened the door for conversations and debates about how we address toxic spills.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce (WMC) is currently suing the state over the Spills Law. This law is a bedrock of environmental and public health protection that has been on the books since 1978. The Spills Law gives the state the ability to quickly respond to the release of hazardous substances and to hold polluters accountable for cleaning up toxic spills.
WMC’s lawsuit would undermine the effectiveness of the Spills Law and make it more difficult for the state to respond quickly to protect public health. Rob Lee from Midwest Environmental Advocates (MEA) joins the show to talk about the Spills Law, the lawsuit, and what the average citizen can do to put pressure in the court of public opinion.
