speaking of DICK CHEYNEY,
Multi-Chem is a Halliburton business. They mix fracking and oilfield chemicals. After their plant blew up in 2011, OSHA gave them a fine of $49,000 ($7,000 per worker onsite at the time) and the state of Louisiana gave them a $1.8 million tax break.
There's a funny story about that Multi-Chem:
The company received an expedited environmental permit to build a new plant in Vermilion Parish without public notice or a public hearing and was granted $1.8 million in state property tax exemptions over a 10-year period to build the new plant.How can that be?
“When an event like that happens we make a decision whether or not to issue a penalty, and in this case, they got right on the ball,” said LDEQ spokesman Tim Beckstrom. “There was no off-site impact, and we didn’t identify any areas of concern, so the company was not issued a penalty.”
As Odis Lounsberry told the Associated Press back in June 2011:
Lounsberry, who said he is an inventor by trade, said he got a bad taste in his mouth after feeling drops of a liquid hit him. "It was like a bitter taste, just a foul taste," he said.So, nothing to see here.
Mult-Chem now wants a permit to discharge water from one of its facilities into local waterways. People aren't happy. But remember, guys—there's nothing to see here.
will Cheyney like Romney's lie about his association with Bain be the route he takes with Haliburton ? wonder what he'll say when suits start hitting the fan, you know the press will want to interview him maybe he'll go republican old school and say he doesn't remember like he did in the Valarie Plame outing as a spy 75 times.
