We had a similar experience as a young family driving from Connecticut through northern New Jersey to visit relatives in Pennsylvania. The NJ refineries were and I imagine still are brutal. The only way my siblings and I could survive it were placing Juicie Fruit gum wraps on our noses. To be honest I can't understand why these big companies just find it hard to incorporate environmental safeguards to begin with. Instead they think nothing of paying huge amounts on Lobbyists, buying off politicians and paying large court settlements. Don't the CEO's and their families live on this planet or do they take off at the end of the day to another planet in a different dimension! Fellow American's shouldn't have to waste our precious life time battling this crap! And especially spending enormous amount of time by hospital bedsides to comfort our dying loved ones! The water in Flint and the methane plume in California could have been all avoided with very little cost to these companies, not to mention the pollution by the Koch brother's Georgia-Pacific paper plants of the Ouachita River in Arkansas just to name a fraction. Billionaires who can't bring themselves to be responsible citizens of this planet. It must be a mental illness of some sort. I give deep and sincere credit to the Mayor and her community and the reporter. That's why I'm voting for Senator Sanders his and our time has come. Enough is enough!
Living in the South Bay Area, I've traveled across the Carquinez Bridge for 40 years to visit relatives in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The ugliest & smelliest part of the trip on I-80 was always going past the Chevron refinery in Richmond, often wondering how people can stand to live anywhere nearby with all that stinky smoke. It's disgraceful, and I'm glad that locals are finally fighting back!
If all the guns are pointing in one direction then people will know who is holding the guns. I never understood why big money interests use such simple tactic and I am surprised that it works so often. I am glad to see that it failed in this case. However, I think the reason the tactic failed is because the small size of the population and the small geographical size of the city which makes community organizing feasible.

I like the term "everyday people" as opposed to "ordinary people". Good for this community not to be conned by big biz.
