Toxic Trash http://www.tompaine.com/articles/toxic_trash.php July 27, 2004 The rate of Superfund site cleanups has fallen by half since the late 1999s—not coincidentally, right around when Bush took over—and funding for the Superfund program has dropped by 34 percent. Now it's American taxpayers, rather than big polluters, who are producing the money for the cleanups that do happen. This wasn't the way Superfund was supposed to work. The Sierra Club's new report documents toxic sites around the country that endanger citizens' health and calls for a return to the 'polluter-pays' principle.
