CHEMTURA OPEN HOUSE

Yesterday's Elmira Independent covered last Saturday's events and festivities at Chemtura in Elmira. The article was titled "Chemtura opens doors to community". Both from the newspaper as well as talking to persons who attended it was as I expected a well organized and friendly event. The author of the article probably however has not endeared himself to Chemtura with his opening sentence namely "Chemtura is a company that has not had the most positive history with the town of Elmira.". Similarily his second last sentence read "Chemtura's open house allowed the community to catch a glimpse into an otherwise closed off and secretive facility.". Damn I like this guy!

Chemtura appear to have unlimited funds for consultants, lawyers and public relations firms (Sussex). Some day when they mature they might consider spending their money more wisely; say on source removal of DNAPLS, LNAPLS and Dioxins.
