PIRG: Take Action to Keep Polluters Accountable

With more than 1,000 Superfund sites (including the Leviathan Mine in Calif pictured above) remaining, the polluter pays tax is crucial to ensure that toxic waste is cleaned up before it further damages our health and drinking water. Companies pay a small, but necessary, price to clean up the pollution they create. If this tax is repealed, we will let companies off the hook for cleaning up dangerous pollution. That's why I'm urging you to oppose H.R. 640 and any other legislation that would repeal the polluter pays tax. Act HERE.
