Messing W/ Texas

Ha fucking ha. Stupid jerks, how long until all of Texas looks like the surface of the moon?

The fact that the plant was able to store such high volumes of hazardous chemicals without regular safety inspections or, reportedly, having sprinklers or fire walls has led many environmental groups to argue for more and stronger regulations. Yet a spokesperson for an industry group, The Fertilizer Institute, has already stated that there is “a very rigorous regulatory structure in place right now” and worried that “someone may react quickly and perhaps try to change things or impose new regulation on top of existing regulation that’s already effective.”

Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) has joined this perspective, saying that calls for increased regulation are “premature” and he remains comfortable with the level of oversight in Texas.
