Yet Silverton was not yet ready to vote for the Superfund! My question is why does Silverton even get a vote? We the downstream communities are getting the toxic waste while they drink pure water from unaffected streams. You would think they had 50,000 voters for our state elected officials to act so wishy-washy.

What can we do? Yell and shout! If you know an elected official call him or her, and if not, send an email. If you have a in with a newspaper, contact that person and tell them to protect Durango with stories and editorials. If we act like sheep, we will be treated like sheep.
