Anyone surprised? Remember that Thanksgiving when they spewed ash all over town and didn’t tell anyone. How many incidents came after, with no real consequences?

Sure the state government over-regulates. But in this case they repeatedly gave slaps on the wrist for repeated violations to a management company that is clearly out of control. The previous management didn’t have half the amount issues.

Hi yoyohop,

We are suing the refinery for this incident and likely will be adding this incident as well.

If you would like to voice your concern, please let me know.

Please write me a letter and sign and date it if you would like your voice heard.
