*** Environmental Lobbying David Rouzer | bcbeat

Brunswick Environmental Action Team

BEAT is deeply disappointed that the U.S. Federal government has let the clear and present evidence of mis-direction and criminal negligence, by both DuPont and Chemours, go unaccounted for.

Private individuals in this country dare not expect to be treated with equally entitlement-granting kid gloves as these "Too Big Too Fail" corporate polluters and stockholders do.

Chemours, knowingly and forever, tainted the water supply of the southeastern portion of North Carolina. And generations to come will continue to suffer from their intentional negligence!

BEAT now also feels the federal government is complicit in these acts by allowing such criminally aggressive polluters off-the-hook despite a clear trail of malfeasance and deception.

North Carolina's citizens deserve better. We should be able to depend on our government for protection from corporations that harm the right of citizens to enjoy precious natural clean air, water and soil (our common heritage). Instead, they have set a dubious precedent for other like-minded profiteers to follow; make billions of dollars in profits over the years while poisoning our waters. "Why worry?" they may ask in their board meetings, "there will be no accountability for criminal corporate pollution of the water supply for millions of North Carolinians."

Warm Regards, Pete Key

Lobbying Representative David Rouzer's Office on Environmental Harms Built Into Tax Cut Law

December 7, 2017

On Thursday, December 7th, despite inclement weather, more than 40 BEAT members including Board members Neil Gilbert, Sandy Ford, Anne Nealy, Dale Todd, and Dr. Dwight Willis met with Chance Lambert, legislative assistant for U.S. Representative David Rouzer. The group discussed their concern with the fact that the tax cut bill provided authorization to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in northeastern Alaska to drilling for gas and oil. The ANWR is one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in the United States. It has been a protected area since Dwight Eisenhower designated it so in 1960.
