>> If the Kochs are polluters, then they are polluters.

They may be polluters from time to time in one area or the other.

But after they bought the plant in the small town I grew up in, they totally cleaned it up. Spent millions to do it. When I lived there in the 60s, there were open trenches carrying toxic chemicals 8 miles where it was dumped in the river. Now, that crap goes through multiple processes to clean it up and by the time it gets to the river it is clean as drinking water.

The Koch Brothers have been vilified by the Left about as badly as anyone can. They may not be alter boys, but they are no more polluters than the City of Detroit itself is.
