“We applaud Gov. Kasich for fighting back against the Army Corps’ attempt to take the Cleveland area hostage on the issue of open-lake disposal.  The Army Corps is obligated to pay for the safe disposal of the toxic Cuyahoga River sediments that it dredges. The ultimatum issued by the Corps – that Cleveland choose either environmental safety or economic security, but not both – is unlawful and unjust.  The OEC fully supports the Kasich Administration’s legal challenge.”
