Burton (IN-ALEC) - Conflict of interest, Nah!
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) has appointed State Representative Woody Burton (R-Whiteland) as co-chairman of the Financial Services Subcommittee. This subcommittee is an advisory body to the larger Commerce, Insurance and Economic Development Task Force.
ALEC works at the state level to advance the fundamental
principles of free-market enterprise, limited government and federalism. This
is done through a nonpartisan public-private partnership of America’s state
legislators, members of the private sector and the general public.
Rep. Burton is Chairman of the Financial Institutions Committee in the Indiana
House of Representatives. He also serves on the Insurance Committee.

10 Places Abandoned After Disasters
10. Times Beach, Missouri
In the early 1970s, the town of Times Beach in Missouri was plagued with a problem: as most of its
roads were unpaved, cars and pedestrians would kick up quantities of
dust, causing a massive safety issue for anyone traveling along them. So
in order to prevent this, the town hired a waste hauler called Russell
Bliss to oil the roads, a role he carried out between 1972 and 1976.
At the same time, however, Bliss was also contracted by another
company, ICP, to dispose of toxic waste produced by Northeastern
Pharmaceutical and Chemical Company (NEPACCO). During the Vietnam War,
NEPACCO was one of the government’s suppliers of the infamous Agent
Orange, a defoliant which contained the dioxin, TCDD. Like all dioxins,
TCDD can cause immune and reproductive disorders, alongside other
conditions such as cancer and chloracne (a severe acne-like condition
which can last for decades).
Unbeknownst to everyone, Bliss had
been oiling the roads of Times Beach with a mixture containing used
engine oil and the NEPACCO waste. On December 3, 1982, the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) took samples of the town’s soil. The result? It
was contaminated with levels of dioxin one hundred times higher than
the level considered hazardous to human health. Unfortunately, before
any action could be taken, the nearby Meramec River overflowed on
December 5 and flooded the town, spreading the contaminant throughout
the whole city.
Eventually, the floodwaters receded and in
1983, the EPA evicted the town’s population and reclaimed the land—a
buyout which cost a reported $32 million. By 1985, the town had been
bulldozed and all the soil incinerated in specially-built mobile
furnaces. Today, the area on which the town stood is now a state park.
As for the dioxins, the EPA revisited the site in 2012 and tested the
soil again, eventually concluding that there was no longer any health
risk associated with the site.
