Why Marco Island Syndicate Was Not Prosecuted ...

Has anyone (outside of the syndicate of course) ever wondered why the syndicate and their minions were never federally prosecuted for the environmental crimes they committed on Marco Island?

In part, here is the answer:

"The most generous possible explanation is that EPA managers were stunningly incompetent," said Subcommittee Chairman Brad Miller (D-NC). "But it is possible that the explanation is more sinister. The EPA ignored their own careful plans and abruptly closed libraries, limited access to the public and EPA employees, and just threw away documents that may be irreplaceable. The EPA’s ability to protect the environment and public health is badly compromised as a result."
