The truth probably rests somewhere in the middle, but if you take the ability to sue over corporate negligence away from attornys and leave it to legislators the situation would go from bad to worse in a heartbeat. The Fumento story assumes a lot of negative things about Masry and Brockovich, but it ignores the obvious fact that a lot of people were getting sick from "something" connected to PG&E even if the Chromium 6 is only one contributing factor. BTW, I used to work in a lab where Chromium 6 was analyzed and by no means can the statistical evidence of risks be limited to simple EPA standards. MANY people where I worked got sick from unusual diseases like Crone's disease and various cancers, but pinpointing WHICH chemicals MIGHT be responsible is like looking for a needle in a veritable field of haystacks, and believe me, industry is in no hurry to find the causes or agree to any responsibility for the risks. So, I praise Errin Brockovich, the movie and the person who the dramatization was based on, for the rousing and heroic defense of the little guy.
