At least that is what Gov. Mike Leavitt and Utah lawmakers hope. On Monday, the Senate gave preliminary approval to SB177, a bill that would eliminate limited liability legal protections for any company engaged in the business of nuclear waste storage. The bill is unmistakably targeted at Private Fuel Storage, a limited liability company that wants to build a high-level nuclear waste dump on Goshute tribal lands in Tooele County. By removing the limited liability protection, officers of PFS, as well as offers and stockholders in the consortium of nuclear power companies that comprise PFS, could be held personally liable if anything happens to a shipment of nuclear waste. Senate Majority Whip Leonard Blackham, R-Moroni and sponsor of the bill, said limited liability protection is a government tool to spur economic development. And because it is a privilege extended by government, it can also be taken away. The bill is one more legal hurdle Leavitt is putting in front of PFS in his ongoing efforts to block the nuclear waste dump. The Senate has already approved SB164, which would allow the state to take control of a chain of roads encircling the reservation and designate them as "public safety interest highways." The state could then control traffic on those roads and bar any rail spurs from crossing them. The limited liability bill is up for final Senate passage on Tuesday. =================================================== Comments: At the K-25 plants reindustrilization process there are nothing but limited liabilty corporations all over the place. Good to see some places are getting wise to this trick. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Have you seen our new web site? http://www.onelist.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DOEWatch List --- Subscribe online: http://www.onelist.com/subscribe.cgi/doewatch Quote from Truman's diary July 25, 1945: "We have discovered the most terrible bomb in the history of the world.
