Sanford wants EPA money to study pollution at sites around city

Okay, here's another nasty red state that won't pay up for their part of the bargain and now we, the rest of the schmucks are going to pay to clean up after them like they're little children and we are the grownups.

SANFORD, Fla. — City leaders in Sanford want hundreds of thousands of dollars to figure out how to deal with dozens of polluted properties.

The majority of the city's 60 contaminated sites are around downtown.

Channel 9's Tim Barber learned, if officials get the money, they will have to pay even more.

The cleanup would not take place immediately but city leaders said us it is important that the community get this done so they can help sell prime properties, like some of those along Lake Monroe.

Sanford tore down the town's old post office. Now their next step is to clean up the underground pollution underground.


So, we clean up their mess and then they get to make money? What am I missing?

1. "Now their next step is to clean up the underground pollution underground."

Jesus Christ, don't these people have editors or proofreaders anymore?

2. I think they live on word counts.

Actual content is not their job.

3. if the citizens have any sense

they will make the polluters pay for the cleanup. It is possible. We did it in out community even though the politicians were willing to take on the cleanup cost or rather the taxpayers.
They will be called environmentalists though.
