Wow - we'll have full coverage on that, as well as the raft of new mental health laws in the coming week's newspaper. Both subjects are way too complex for one-liners.
Dig into the actual details (I did) and you will be able to sleep at night. 1, 3 and 4 present results of 'studies' that on their face might seem scary but are full of questionable 'science'. #2 discusses the resultant 'salt water wedge' working its way up to New Orleans as the result of drought.

I hope the state takes it back, as is their right, and puts in a transfer station. However, we all know that will not happen because the state got the better end of the deal when they sold us Asbestos Alley.
