This makes me angry. Yes, it's a big fine, but it has no impact on the directors at all. They wont see a salary cut, they wont see losing their jobs, they WILL pass the cost on to the customer.

They should face personal consequences for doing this. Im not a fan of prisons, so find something else - ban them from being directors and make them do 1000 hours of updaid work cleaning up the coast line. A holes.

I am horrified to say the least witsd!

I agree there should be some sort of personal consequence that hits the Directors where it hurts. Give them a few months with the sewage cleaning workers AND make them pay from their pockets. :evil:

One of the release sites is very close to me and less than a mile from where i grew up and played as a kid.

Absolutely disgusting behavior from a company that monitors companies discharging from businesses into the SW effluent system yet have total disregard for the environment themselves!

Fine should have been higher and/or impacting those that made the decision to release the sewage!
