For Freedom Industries, a Small Price to Pay for Poisoning West Virginia Water

(Before It's News)

Last week, Freedom Industries — the now bankrupt company that was responsible for a chemical spill that tainted the drinking water of hundreds of thousands of West Virginians — learned that there will be a small price to pay for its negligence.

Kevin Conlon reports for CNN:

A settlement was reached Friday with the company at the center of a January chemical leak that contaminated the water supply for 300,000 West Virginians, according to an attorney for the plaintiffs.

Freedom Industries Inc. would transfer $2.9 million into a trust fund that will be used “for the greater good,” according to Anthony Majestro, one of the attorneys in the class-action lawsuit.

“Things like chemical testing and medical studies,” said Majestro, who called the trust fund “a mechanism to answer some of the things that are still unanswered.”

That works out to roughly $10 per person affected by the spill of the coal-processing chemical MCHM, or around $1.00 for each day they went without water.
