It took one letter! (To start the ball rolling on the "largest environmental cleanup in history, which is still going on." Keep asking questions!

Check out the Knoxville News-Sentinel article (below) on our Appalachian Observer newspaper's Freedom of Information Act request, which led to the "largest environmental cleanup in history, which is still going on."

It took a one page letter, which I wrote and our Publisher, Ernie Phillips and I signed. No other journalist or public interest group or government agency would do it.

In dealing with unaccountable organizations, just remember, "Keep asking questions!"

It's what our Founding Fathers had in mind. You'll be glad you did!
