Of course we also have the Lift all boats in the rising tide theme. Another thumbs up! We can even throw in a bit of environmental record for Bush and a touch of racial equality in this Texas success story.

Toxic Traps
Racial patterns, Economics, segregation left minorities closer to toxic sites

By Ed Timms

TEXAS CITY, Texas — Minority children who live in the Grand Camp Apartments, a Texas City housing project, play in a park across the street from several storage tanks. Behind the tanks, refineries rumble and spew.

The mostly black residents of Port Arthur’s Carver Terrace project live in the shadow of a petrochemical complex.......

.......George Fuller, who heads Texas City’s housing authority, said .....

"We’re doing the best we can with what we have," he said.

****************
Good thing that Texas controlled those "environmental whackos". All those high school dropouts have to have somewhere to live.
