Sanders earning money from environmental racism?

Check this tidbit out from the tax return for 2014
http://www.nationalmemo.com/tax-transparency-after-expansive-vow-sanders-releases-only-2014-return/

Their Schedule C shows $4900 in “business income” to Jane Sanders as an appointed commissioner of the Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Compact Commission, a bi-state regulatory body that oversees shipments of radioactive waste from Vermont to the Lone Star state.

Bernie cast a controversial vote for this, saying he cared only about what was good for Vermont.

Environmental racism is right!
