Though ill informed about this and other vital public issues, she proved &#8216;brittle&#8217; (refusing to &#8216;argue&#8217; the point) and was a proponent (as chair of the area Chamber of Commerce) for the Adage biomassacre plant which would have added substantially to the burden Mason County now sustains as a result of Simpson (Green Diamond) dumping this most deadly of toxins down Shelton&#8217;s city sewers into Oakland Bay in the 80&#8217;s. Today, Shelton Harbor sediment has about the highest concentration (902ppt) of Dioxin contamination in the Puget Sound. The cleanup cost required is so enormous, not even the federal government has the funds to tackle it despite the catastrophic effect such contamination (cumulative) has on our food chain, our children, their children and children&#8217;s children.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A vote for Jeffreys is a vote for business as usual and Dioxin.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 698px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/?p=1559\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"DIOXIN: most potent poison known to man\" src=\"http:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/dioxin1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"688\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oakland Bay: Shellfish nursery &amp; Hotbed of DIOXIN contamination<\/p><\/div>\n<h1>Study: Pregnant rats pass down effects of dioxin exposure \u2014 to great-grandchildren<\/h1>\n<div style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Simpson Legacy: Jeffries 'good for bizniz' model\" src=\"http:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/limblessPBP3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"530\" height=\"400\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Studies of Dioxin&#8217;s effects in Vietnam<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Washington State University researchers have found that the great-grandchildren of pregnant rats exposed to low doses of dioxin develop diseases and reproductive abnormalities \u2014 even though they did not have direct exposure.
