...while community members and ex-asarco workers/IBWC federal workers go without independent medical review, jobs, compensation -- and, the community STILL does not have access to basic data on dioxins, polonium/actinides, and the other poisons remaining here --
WHAT IS GOING ON? Even the International La Paz JAC committee recommended a background contamination study be done (hasn't been - and, that resolution was passed a year ago)
And, when we ask for this data, the ASARCO El Paso clean-up Trustee (after four months) still does not address its absence.
This is appalling. El Paso is starting up a MEDICAL SCHOOL, and wants to move UTEP into Tier ONE status --- and, the Federal State Dept. says (3/05) that the FEDERAL WORKERS by ASARCO can't get independent medical review?
