Frank Pallone actually said...

"For years, I have introduced the Superfund Polluter Pays Act, which would reauthorize the original Superfund fees and make polluters, not taxpayers, pay the costs of cleaning up Superfund sites."

"The contaminants at Superfund sites have been shown to cause cancer, birth defects, infertility and other serious health problems."

"Cleaning up toxic Superfund sites not only reduces health risks, it also helps create jobs during the cleanup."

"Congress needs to reinstate the 'polluter pays' taxes so those industries most responsible for polluting our land and water are held responsible for cleaning up our toxic legacy."
