Environmental ‘Protection’ Agency

To the editor: Founded by Nixon in ‘70 the Environmental “Protection” Agency is supposed to protect the environment. Which should mean promoting the general wel- fare but they’re shielding General Electric. Everyone knows that organized crime runs “Protection” rackets, deals that cannot be refused. Can we refuse this deal in Lee? The democratic process has been “Protected”, we are told it’s a done deal. Midnight meetings with no public input and some not so quiet millions paid out. That is not what democracy looks like. General Electric polluted with Polychlorinated Biphenyls. PCBs are forever chemicals, and are toxic and carcinogenic. They need to be cleaned up and planned for. There needs to be an open, fair, process. “This is what Democracy looks like.” Eric Wasileski Pittsfield Click here to read The Berkshire Edge’s policy for submitting Letters to the Editor.
