Freedumb! Harshly Restricted As Jack-Booted Gov Thugs Force Koch To Remove Coke From Detroit
EDIT
Detroit Bulk Storage, which owns the property where Koch is keeping the material, has been working this month to remove the pet coke.
“I am pleased to report Detroit Bulk Storage has complied with our order to remove all of the petroleum coke piles stored on the Detroit River in Southwest Detroit,” Bing said in a statement. “The company had been in violation of the Detroit Property Maintenance Code and Official Zoning Ordinance... “All that remains to be done is the cleanup of residual materials.”
The city’s Building, Safety Engineering and Environmental Department had rejected an application from Detroit Bulk Storage for permission to store petroleum coke on-site.
“Detroit Bulk is disappointed in the city's decision and they are exploring their options at this time,” said Daniel Cherrin, the company’s spokesman. “While Detroit Bulk understands the communities’ concerns and the politics of this issue, Detroit Bulk has been working with the city and the state throughout this process and will continue to work with them should there be another opportunity to operate within the city of Detroit.”
