imagine this guy who has framed himself as a champion of the environment....how would the GOP use this against berie???
In 1994, Sanders co-sponsored a bill that would have allow low-level nuclear waste from Vermont to be shipped to the poor Latino community of Sierra Blanca, Texas.

(15,438 posts)taking it from getting very little attention to bringing it to the Senate floor where it was vigorously debated and attacked. Senator Wellstone ultimately prevailed getting a LOT of media attention for this law. What's not as well-known is that the Texas-Vermont-Maine Nuclear Waste Compact was one of the few bills sponsored by U.S. Rep. Sanders.

(1,580 posts)Had opposing posts in the GDP about this. She posted that Clinton signed it into law. I posted, since most laws end up on the President's desk if there were any other bills that Sanders actively supported that she wanted to pass credit (responsibility) on. Sponsor is a better word. They are honestly trying to pass this off on Clinton.

(67,782 posts)....that determined the location(s) for the toxic waste. I'm not sure if she was on it when that decision was made, but the sole purpose of the board is to find locations in Texas to send Vermont and Maine toxic waste. It's called "The Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact Commission".
