Rep. Lujan Cops Out of Leading Animas Mine Spill Accountability

Just after 6:00 PM this evening, that is, just a few minutes ago, the KOB TV 6 PM news had reporter Chris Ramirez asking U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Lujan if he was going to lead the seeking of accountability from the EPA for the Animas River toxic mine waste spill. Lujan copped out. He told Ramirez, as I heard it, that there has to be accountability. But he did not say he would lead that effort.
Hey, Ben Ray, I would have thought that leading the effort would be your job. Further, leading the effort and standing up for the people you represent might well have brought all sorts of political glory.
