The government's attorney flat out stated that there is no plan. Unbelievable!

I don't understand why they won't make the results of the tests conducted by the industrial hygienist public. ?? There should be transparency if you are going to say it's safe.

Someone with deep pockets should hire their own hygienist and conduct tests.

I mean, there is definitely a problem if a dump fire hurts your income and cruise ships change their itinerary to avoid your smoky port.
