Selling Out the Hudson River

Gov. Cuomo should step up pressure on G.E. to finish dredging out the toxic chemicals it put in the riverbed.

I have no interest in punishing G.E.
The bacteria will digest PCBs in the bottom mud more rapidly than in a landfill.
The fish survive it and it makes them uncomercial.
Leave them in the river.

American nutritional guidelines are highly influential, so how reliable and scientific are they?
