Can you name one of these that was not required to clean up? When I saw the list by the much exaulted Earth First, it came away blaming Bush for many of the evils which happened under the prior Gov. Ann Richards - D! But the EPA has been there & has shown Tx. air & water quality(except directly across from Mexican Border) have improved.

Just where does Gore stand THIS WEEK on this issue, we know he has flip floped on this the same as many issues? GOP SENDS ESTATE TAX BILL TO CLINTON By CURT ANDERSON -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WASHINGTON (AP) . Taking a bright red tractor Thursday through the capital's busy streets, Montana rancher Lynn Cornwell sought to dramatize the estate tax's impact on some farmers and businesses as he delivered a bill repealing the tax to the White House . where a certain veto awaits. ``The threat of having a tax like this takes away all incentive of growing your business,'' said Cornwell, a third-generation beef producer from Glasgow, Mont., who is president-elect of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association . a group that long has lobbied for repeal. Republican congressional leaders brought in Cornwell, who rode on a tractor borrowed from a Virginia dealership, to increase public pressure on President Clinton to sign the bill, which he has vowed to veto, and set the stage for a September veto override vote in the House. ``This unfair tax is so steep that sometimes the deceased owner's children must break up a farm or sell a business just to cover the tax,'' said House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., appearing at a farmers' market in Columbia, S.C. ``Your children should not have to sell what you worked your whole lives to produce.''
