little to do with daily operations until shortly before the spill, claiming that until the month before the spill, he only worked there as a part-time financial-type consultant. you know, still trying to find the paper clips. because wouldn't you rather be a part-time employee than the boss for the water that wrecked the state. he served on the board and managed the day to day operations at that plant where they spilled the toxic chemical into the city water supply even though he said he's just some part time guy. if convicted he's looking at 30 years in prison. his lawyer says mr. southern isn't guilty. they'll fight the charges vigorously and say he's been unfairly singled out. that chemical that spilled, that toxic goo that poiled the water supply for days and weeks, that chemical is a coal thing. it's a chemical that they used to wash coal after coal has been mined.
