“Homeowners near Egyptian Lacquer Manufacturing Co. say they’re prepared to take the paint manufacturer to federal court to sue them to clean up the pollution under their homes if action on the matter isn’t taken in the next three months. Environmental attorney Elizabeth Murphy says three homeowners she represents are worried about their health, families and homes because of the continued exposure to pollution flowing to Liberty Creek and the Harpeth River.” [editor’s note: It will be interesting to watch this story, since back before federal courts intervened (back in the 1930s IIRC?) to protect corporatist polluters, this was how “water pollution disputes” were settled … in court! - SAT] (05/14/08)
