Titan Plant

I applaud Julia Boseman for taking a stand to protect our precious environment. We need more political leaders that can have a backbone to stand up for what is right instead of thinking about who can make money now. The other plants that line Hwy421 have been slowly polluting our environment for years. My dad retired from a plant on 421 & years ago it produced asbestos which many of its former employees have died from asbestos exposure & my dad has been diagnosed with lung disease from the exposure-never smoked, rarely drank, worked, provided for his family & didn't hang out at bars. Knowing about this now doesn't make his 30yrs at this plant worth it. We don't have the plentiful resources available in our country to investigate properly to make sure they have our best interests at heart. So Julia you keep working to protect our environment & our health because the alternative is more costly in the long run. I want to see more environmentally sound companies doing business in our area which will be better for us in the long run & healthier. Also I see "Help Wanted" signs everyday in this county but very few want to accept a job earning less than $25k annually with little to no benefits-they'd rather file for bankruptcy. I know I work for a bankruptcy attorney-a large majority of the folks who file through our office come from the the high dollar homes/cars/jewels/major credit debt, etc, people just trying to hang on to stuff.
