I think something should be done about this. i mean if this sort of thing happened to me and i wasnt able to return to my home for over five mobths i would be angery at the state government for not doing nothing about it for such a long time like that is just messed up and sorry to all those people for what has happeneed over there in florida. Something needs sone and this is a sixteen year old from oregon saying this like wow the way some states work is just horrid. i hope by now they have done what is right and people are liveing back in their peacfull home and going about their ways if not it better happen soon!

Why is this being ignored by the mayor? This will continue to grow and kill all living creatures. Come on folks and step up.

Right now the GOP controlled legislative branches of WI are willing to create the conditions for just such a scenario with a heavily flawed mining bill. Their argument is job creation. What a bunch of obfuscation!

Thank you for this article. I hope people will look deeper into this issue as it is being reported that toxins are coming out of the sinkhole, it is not informing the people that part of the toxins are nuclear. This is the biggest issue that we as humanity are facing. Nuclear energy/waste will contaminate and destroy us all, if we do not change our course. Look to Fukushima. Peace

Here is a prime example of why industry regulation is required in this country. So many legislators babble on about how we are OVER regulating the Job Creators…this is why right here! The jobs Texas Brine created most certainly do not off-set the diaster area they have created; the poisioning of the waterways; the poisioning of the air. All of the hard working families being displaced and bearing the brunt of the fallout so one company can make a few more dollars…dollars the will figth giving to those families to help them recover.

this mine doesnt exist to directly fulfill the needs ofpeople living around it, it exists to create abstract value (profit). This is the logic of capitalism. we must destroy it.

I would just like to personally thank the writer of this article for helping get this story out there! It means quite a lot to us because we have been fighting to get this recognized for more than 5 long months. So…..THANK YOU from the residents in Bayou Corne, LA!!

No doubt they cover the same thing over and over and major weather hasent been in mainstream media this year while tons of flooding is happening etc. Very suspicious.

Sad to not see this covered on national news. Unfortunately the majority of American society is more concerned with news of their favorite celebrities than the plight of 300 Louisianans.
