Exxon to Arkansas, Gee Sorry

Pipelines are great for the economy, maybe not so great for ordinary people.  A pipeline rupture intruded into the lives of some ordinary people in Arkansas and they got a taste of life in Corporate America.

“That neighborhood was like a scene from ‘The Walking Dead,’” state Attorney General Dustin McDaniel said Wednesday after visiting the Little Rock suburb of Mayflower. “I have been reminded by Exxon’s representatives that this is a relatively small spill and cleanup is going just great,” McDaniel said. “I hope they realize that to the homeowners in this area, this is not small — it is catastrophic. And for those who fear for their drinking water, it is not ‘great.’”
