#5 – GETTING TOUGH ON ENVIRONMENTAL CRIME
votenader.org
In Putting People First, Clinton and Gore pledged to "crack down on environmental crime by holding companies and polluters responsible for their behavior. Corporations that deliberately violate environmental laws will pay the price—and polluters will go to jail where appropriate." Nice talk, but the gap between the rhetoric and the record is as wide as the Grand Canyon. According to a recent study by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, criminal prosecutions of environmental crimes have fallen sharply during the Clinton-Gore Administration. This reflects the administration's overall weak record in dealing with corporate crime. While low-level drug-use offenders serve lengthy sentences, those who systematically pollute our air and water go scot-free.
