Clean Up Refinery Air

Residents in southern Davis county have been subjected to some of the worst air quality in the state because of all the refineries and related petroleum industries. The industry will argue they were there first and the homes came later. They also argue that they provide a needed service. But the thousands of people that live there are subjected daily to noise, odors, CO emissions, PM emissions and other dangerous substances. Meanwhile, the refineries and other plants are making record profits.

What are your thoughts on requiring the industry to invest some of their vast profits into cleaning up their operations, reducing odors, eliminating noise and becoming an asset to the community rather than a nuisance and liability?
