A question about Dean [View All]

[VermontDem2004]

This is from the other thread.

1. Why did you support sending Vermont's nuclear waste to the poor, mostly Hispanic town of Sierra Blanca, Texas, 16 miles from the Mexican border -- a plan described as "blatant environmental racism" by Paul Wellstone?


I spent countless hours looking for a quote or an action Dean took which resulted him in supporting the action took, know I don't know if he was for or against it because I couldn't find a quote or an action Dean took to inform me. But if you can prove to me Dean supported this WITH the knowledge of the dangers that exsisted, I will no longer support Howard Dean for President.

Let me add the Nuclear waste wasn't going to be dumped on the town, there was a small mountain or a butte called Sierra Blance near the town of Sierra Blanca, but even if they dumped it there, there would still be enviromental harm on the citizens of the town and I believe it would contaminate the water.
