In 1982, protest marchers chanted . . . "Hey Jim Hunt, Whatcha goin' do 'bout the PCB."
The NC PCB Archives stated . . . The PCBs lay along 240 miles of highways for four years as the Hunt Administration ignored roadside residents' pleas to pick up the PCB- contaminated soil.
Surely, children waiting for their school buses were directly exposed.
Hmmm...SO ARE YOU SAYING... our 'nationally-known coveted education governor' didn't give a care about the children of Warren county back then and the ill-affects this dumping site created and for FOUR LONG YEARS DID NOTHING TO HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE... ah, come on. You've got to be joking!
Now, thirty years later, the tracks of their tears and fears were retraced in Warren county on Saturday, September 15, 2012 in a march commemorating this event.
And BTW, James Baxter Hunt Junior, Sir, even if you do get the library on the campus of North Carolina State University you so yearn for.... there are some things you just can't change, take back or do over. And this 'black mark' on your gubernatorial era is one of them.
