Rep. Chris Chocola (R-Chocola)

Rep. Chocola has made the League of Conservation Voters "Tom's Tainted Team." A list of Congressmen who have voted for a provision of the energy bill that protects polluters from paying for the cleanup of MTBE (a petroleum additive.) There are two water systems in the 2nd Congressional district alone contaminated with MTBE. Who will foot the bill for the cleanup then? Us of course.

On an ethics note Chocola owns stock in companies that are major manufacturers and polluters of MTBE. So who's interests is he protecting, our's or his?
