BIG—After decades of irresponsible dumping, the Meeker Avenue Plume has been added to the National Priorities List for Superfund
I've fought for this alongside local officials and activists to bring the full weight of EPA to bear for clean-up in Greenpoint and East Williamsburg

What a fucking poser this guy is. Bet he wants the plume to be covered in some corporate shopping center with a Starbucks, Urban Outfitters, and… ugh …a Kiehl’s that will have security that won’t let you skateboard in the parking lot even if you’re 33 and old enough to be out skateboarding at 1:00 AM on a Tuesday. They’ll probably even remove all the “KEST GAK” stickers we put on the lamp posts. There won’t even be a place to buy malt liquor there anymore, instead we’ll have $8.00 PBRs with our “real” Korean barbecue wonton tacos in a place that’s licensed by the NYC Department of Health. The apartments will probably even have working fire alarms and shit like that.
