Question of the Day

Issue: Rail depot has new leak: BNSF shuts part of facility, says no sign of harm to environment/James Hagengruber, SR.

DFO: County commissioners have requested that the facility be shut down until further notice. But I doubt that the railroad will listen. We lost our chance to control these guys when former commissioners (Dick Compton and Dick Panabaker) signed off on this depot. Now, we're stuck wringing our hands as the leaks mount up.

Question: What options do we have to prevent the railroad from soiling our drinking water?
