In a recent change in heart, Jim Inhofe brought home some money for the Tar Creek Superfund site.
The Tar Creek area is a region where improper mining of zinc and other resources made living unsafe. Former Representative Brad Carson led the charge to clean up the fund. Jim Inhofe now claims part of the success pie by bringing home $6,200,000 to close a town.
Granted, most of the people in the Picher area moved after the May tornado… and there was ample funding from the EPA… and the school district will close this year anyway… but thanks, Jim! Way to spend our tax dollars wisely during a financial and fiscal crisis!
