WV legislature is set on rolling back the storage tank legislation inacted after the tank spill.
This is beyond disgusting. There are many third world countries that are not this corrupt. The failure to regulate storage tanks leads to massive numbers of spills and land contamination, not just in West Virginia. They rules that were put in place were proper and would have protected the citizens of West Virginia. The massively corrupt legislature now in power could never let that stand.

"Legislation that dismantles large portions of the chemical tank safety bill passed after last year’s Freedom Industries leak appears headed for passage, following a narrow approval late Monday night by the House Judiciary Committee.
Committee members approved the bill (SB 423) by a 13-12 vote taken at about 11:30 p.m,, following the defeat of an amendment aimed at strengthening parts of the bill at the end of a more than four-hour meeting. That amendment failed by an identical margin.
“This bill is a rollback of all we accomplished last year,” said Delegate Stephen Skinner, D-Jefferson."
