SB22, the controversial bill sponsored by controversial Senator Maria Chappelle Nada died last Friday at the end of the legislative session. Her bill would have spent nearly $13 million dollars to buy out homes near the contaminated Westlake landfill. Although she threatened to interrupt Senate business in retaliation for her bill’s defeat, her short filibuster was ended procedurally. Not one to go quiet in the night, the Senator lobbed this hand grenade into the twitter-verse to show her disappointment,

On April 4th, Westlake Professional Protesters and Earth Defense Coalition co-founders Alex Cohen and Amber Mae Duvall, led a protest at Senator Claire McCaskill’s office in St. Louis. They flooded into her office with red paint on their hands to protest the Westlake Landfill. Once again we have so called ‘progressives’ who are supposed to be known for tolerance exhibiting behavior which is the exact opposite of tolerance.

There seems to be genuine interest from all parties for a solution to this problem. Unfortunately, the extreme rhetoric of Senator Chappelle Nadal and her minions the professional protesters are making that solution harder and harder to find.
