Goliad citizens can join in county’s suit against uranium mining firm

ADVOCATE STAFF REPORT
March 10, 2008 - 10:05 p.m.

GOLIAD – Private landowners can join Goliad County’s suit against a uranium mining company, which the county claims has contaminated drinking water.

The commissioners court Monday authorized attorney Jim Blackburn to amend its contract to allow individual landowners to join the county’s lawsuit against Uranium Energy Corp., with the provision that the landowners pay for themselves.

Earlier this month, Blackburn sent a notice of intent to sue to the company, which his required under federal statue. The actual lawsuit cannot be filed until 60 days after the intent to sue was filed.

The county plans to sue the company under the Safe Drinking Water Act.

I can't?

How about the coal companies?

What, you couldn't care less about the health consequences of dangerous fossil fuels?

What a fucking surprise!

How about dumb ass anti-nukes who claim that only nuclear energy needs to be perfect.

I count dumb ass anti-nukes for a few million dead people per year, as ignorance kills. Where do I file my fucking lawsuit?
