Washington, DC –-(ENEWSPF)–June 15, 2015. Today, Representative Earl Blumenauer (OR-03) introduced legislation to require polluters to pay for the cleanup of toxic and hazardous waste sites throughout the United States. Currently, the American taxpayer bears the burden of funding cleanup of these contaminated sites. H.R. 2768, the Superfund Reinvestment Act, restores the ‘polluter pays’ taxes, returning fairness to the process and once again making those responsible for pollution pay for the cleanup.
