I'd rather live next to a leaky paper plant than a teflon plant any day.

I wouldn't. The numerous miscarriages that my grandmother had while living in a mill town, and the cancer diagnoses that followed family who worked at the mill taught me to stay upstream of mill towns.

Visit Int'l Falls, MN. They have a paper mill and then there's another one on the other side of the river in Canada. It's foul

I think it's clear that you're not familiar with how often paper mills have poisoned the nearby populations.

I'd rather live next to neither. Paper plants stink.
