Infrastructure Bill Reignites Superfund Tax Debate (Podcast)

摘要

The Senate-passed infrastructure bill aims to revive nineties-era taxes on chemical companies andimporters to pay for cleaning up some of the nation’s most contaminated sites.While the bill still needs to clear the House, the chemicals industry claims the Superfund tax provisionsare unfair because they impact a small subset of the industrial sectors that contributed to pollution. Butadvocates say the return of the “polluters pay” doctrine is a step in the right direction to clean up toxicsites.
