Nuclear injustice in New Mexico must end

Nuclear injustice in New Mexico must end. The half-life of plutonium-239 is 24,100 years, but the WIPP safety assessment period is limited to 10,000 years. 11 July 21, New Mexico residents have long endured disproportionately high health and environmental risks from nuclear energy and weapons programs.

Here is a statement from the AG s office: The now defunct for-profit school defrauded thousands of individuals by encouraging them to enroll and borrow loans based on false and misleading information about the value of an ITT degree and empty promises of high-paying jobs after graduation. The borrower defense application that a bipartisan coalition of 24 states and the District of Columbia filed today includes students who attended ITT Tech between at least 2007 and 2011 when these deceptive tactics were used to convince students to attend the school and borrow federal student aid. This widespread and pervasive misrepresentation violated state consumer protection laws. Federal law permits the Department of Education to forgive federal student loa
