My (former) wife was one of those affected by Times Beach debacle. Her grandmother was a resident of the riverside town. If people complain about soul crushing regulation placed upon businesses, remember that at the time, there was no regulation preventing (with teeth) a company from withholding information about dumping one of the most toxic substances (by parts per billion) to the general public. Endometriosis and infertility are one of the know side effects of dioxins. And there was no rules in place to prevent this.
