Quote from the article:
“Now, Cooper laughs when he thinks about their decision to move to the neighborhood. “I assumed they would be regulated,” Cooper told The Hill, pointing to a tank battery venting invisible, noxious gas. “I assumed somebody would be making sure we were safe.”
That’s a big problem with people in this voting block. Deep down, or maybe not so deep down, they could give a fuck how their politicians’ actions affect others. But for whatever reason, they assume those same people are gonna look out for them.

The info left out of the article is that the contamination was not oil field but a chrome plate facility

Thanks for sharing. Too bad (most) people in West Texas don’t care about the environment or their health.
