Why Does Hinchey Hate Pollutants?
Because he does. General Electric dumped tons of PCBs into the Hudson River for decades, turning it into one of the most polluted places in New York. After being prodded by the EPA, it finally agreed to fork over between 100 and 150 million dollars to help the recovery process. Of course, the total cost of the cleanup project could be over $500 million, leading Representative Hinchey to express his suspicions.
Whoa! Did you just see that?! Maurice totally called out GE. I think it's safe to say the only losers here are the people who eat fish from the Hudson River. Why doesn't the media fully appreciate Mr. Hinchey?
U.S. Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-Hurley, called the agreement a positive step, but expressed reservations about its limitations. He accused GE of wielding influence inside the Bush administration, and suggested the fate of the cleanup might ultimately come down to who wins the presidential election in 2008.

The reason the media doesn't fully appreciate congressman Hinchey is that they are too busy covering murders, natural disasters, and other things that make people feel disempowered.
Here is a man who is struggling to make a difference, and do something positive for the world his children will inheret. Bravo, Mr. Hinchey. Keep fighting the good fight!

Maurice Hinchey hates typewriter correction fluid, too! (and what is this thing called a typewriter anyway?)
