Gotta love another attack piece.

Never mind the fact that the EPA rules were changed in the late 90s forcing many of these gas stations into bankruptcy because they couldn’t upgrade to the newer tanks. So they all languished and rotted.

So did the “media” also calculate the total taxes that the Pence companies PAID over its lifetime?

For some reason, I think not.

Did the Pence Family manufacture the underground Gas Tanks?

Nobody used double tanks back then.

Gas station site cleanups are pretty much routine everywhere.

Pence family’s failed gas stations cost taxpayers $20M+ (leftist Yahoo News

Oh, the horror, oh, the angst, oh, the tragedy. Stupid, moron libs spill more than that on the bar...every day. Pure BS news, as usual from libs.

Oh...and how many jobs did 200 stations provide while they were operating? How much to the economy did they contribute? No mention of that, of course.

If the AP really wanted to pin anything on the Republicans, they’d do their homework on tetraethyl lead and Coolidge’s Surgeon General, Hugh Cumming.

Perhaps we should also look at a political motivation behind Truman’s Oscar Ewing and the expansion of fluoridation in the US.

Nah. Let’s ignore all the democrat gas stations taxpayers have subsidized for their environmental messes, too. /s

Such a dishonest political story, but no surprise here.

Didn’t Obama force us taxpayers to fund a multi-million dollars gas station over in the Mid-East somewhere?

The real fact is that the government itself caused every single one of these leaking underground tank problems.

By law, in the US gas stations must have underground tanks. This is supposedly for fire prevention, but in Europe tanks are above ground, and we have never noticed a huge number of gas station fires over there, have we?

The real problem is that an underground tank is impossible to either inspect or maintain, while with an above ground tank both precesses are trivial, and leaking tanks are promptly repaired or replaced.

When the government causes a major problem and then pushes the costs off onto a few individuals, it somehow seems fitting that if this bankrupts the individuals the costs should come back to bite the government.

No one will ever accuse Bernie Sanders’ businesses of leaving a mess for the taxpayers to clean up.

None of the Pences were targeted, prosecuted, or found guilty of anything.

Next!

Tweeted a question to all authors where this was posted on Twitter asking if any other gas companies were costing us Indiana taxpayers money. Not expecting replies.

What toxic chemicals leaked? If the reference is to gasoline tanks, wouldn’t all the gas have been pumped out of the tanks after the stations closed?
