Watching the documentary " Mann v. Ford" on HBO
It's about a community in New Jersey that was once a toxic waste dumping ground for the Ford Motor Company. http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/2011/07/mann-vs-ford-the-denouement

It was shot during the time when Jon Corzine was the governor, Corzine actually visited the community and assured the people there that his government would do everything that it could to assist their legal case against Ford.

Well, Chris Christie is governor now… Somehow, I doubt that the same promise would have came from him personally were his assistance needed in a similar situation.

The work of the EPA was mentioned too. It was explained that the agency was an effective and diligent regulator up until Reagan took office and GUTTED IT. The result was that people died needlessly while corporations profited.

No surprise, really...

But it's just further evidence that there is a difference between Democrats and Republicans,
