News that doesn't get in our paper | Eastern North Carolina Now

    I look at the smoke coming out the stacks across the Pamlico River from me and wonder --- What is in that smoke???

    Here is important news relative to it and the recent EPA findings.

    Our radio / TV / print news says nothing, yet here we go --- and here they are in Beaufort County.

    With the recent passing of both Fracking and Felony to disclose the chemicals, can we believe large Industry when they claim to be "good neighbors?" Koch Industries --- which poured millions into the Thom Tillis Campaign --- has also been running many ads about their "help to their customers." BP is doing the same over their oil spill in the Gulf. I saw another article recently about he carcinogens in the Gulf waters as an aftermath of the chemicals used in the dispersion.

    What is true and what is PR????

    Will I buy Gulf Oysters this year? ONLY will I buy local ones!!!

    BUT --- PCS also uses the Pamlico River Water in their process. It is certainly released back into our ground water and Sound. I see the federal-tagged trucks and people taking samples. The results are not disclosed to us.

    With the results of the election, will we get more accurate testing and monitoring --- or will Koch Industries and PCS get some return on their political investments in NC? Remember, it was the most money spend in an election in current times.

    That we DO KNOW NOW!
