Pretty sure everyone could use a sick day here and there without it reflecting poorly on their work ethic.

The people just want clean air for the community. Things can be done like air scrubbers and monitors. I’m glad your father was not a cancer statistic, but the polluted air affects the entire community. We have to get on board with protecting our beautiful world, we can’t just move to another Planet.

My family has lived in this areas for at least 150 years. And many members of my family have died of cancer. I’ve also noticed a noticeable decrease in air quality over the years. We cannot keep poisoning ourselves. There are plenty of jobs out there waiting to be had. We cannot keep throwing away our health for the sake of keeping some people employed. I don’t suggest sending jobs overseas. I suggest finding new, less harmful ways of producing energy and the things we want. And likely the establishment of new things would lead to jobs. I am for an America that cares about the health of its children. Dear concerned:

If so no wonder you don't care if this mill shuts down or not. You have your set income. Sounds like most people making comments has never worked or lived near industry in your lifetime. I've lived my life in this area from birth to present. My dad worked at Chemstrand/Monsanta 25 years without missing a day. He didn't die from cancer. With these comments in mind had you rather send All paying jobs to oversees and let our government take care of you and be like the communist nations or have a job where you can make the decision if you want this or that? We can choose to have a family fun nation or a miserable dictated United States of America. As for me and my house we will Serve The Lord! We will also, stand for The United States of America!

Great. Between the huge sand quarry behind me, the huge new power company’s natural gas lines running through my back yard and now this. Molino is becoming a death trap.

The bottom line is the only thing that they understand, hit them where it hurts and they will fix this mess or shut it down.

Especially after covid. And, it STINKS! Do not want to move. But, I would really like to breathe. I hope someone stops this. Is MONEY the ONLY thing that matters to those "in charge?" What spirit motivates these people? Most of us cannot afford a swank location where there is good air. DISGUSTING ! ! ! So sick of what seems to be gross greed. It is sometimes hard to breathe now.
