On the recordSeptember 6, 1995
I wanted to bring to my colleagues' attention the concerns of several prominent South Dakotans regarding the Superfund Program. Like many of my colleagues, during the August recess, I spend considerable time back in South Dakota talking to my constituents. While in South Dakota, one issue came up on a number of occasions: Superfund reform. This issue is important to small business men and women throughout South Dakota. In fact, several South Dakota small business leaders just launched a new coalition, South Dakotans for Superfund reform. Recently, the coalition leadership's comments on Superfund, and an op-ed from Rob Wheeler of Lemmon, SD, were published in local newspapers in the State.
