[Repeal The 17th]

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security requires fertilizer plants and depots to disclose amounts of ammonium nitrate...
-
"... this facility was known to have chemicals well above the threshold amount to be regulated under the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards Act (CFATS), yet we understand that DHS did not even know the plant existed until it blew up..."
-
try to focus on this:
"...this facility was known to have chemicals well above the threshold amount to be regulated..."
"...DHS did not even know the plant existed..."
-
Just catch your breath and think about it...
"...they were known to exist...but DHS did not know...?"
-
NOTHING but a paperwork issue...
and nothing there that would have PREVENTED the accident.
-
p.s. try to get a life.
