From The Office of the Attorney General:
“Attorney General Karl A. Racine today announced that Monsanto will pay $52 million to resolve a lawsuit over the company’s production, promotion, and sale of toxic polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) that damaged the District’s natural resources and put the health of residents at risk. The settlement with the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) resolves a May 2020 lawsuit which alleged that Monsanto sold PCBs for nearly 50 years, despite knowing that these chemicals would pollute waterways, kill wildlife, and cause significant health problems in humans, including cancer and liver damage. There are at least 36 bodies of water in the District with high levels of PCB contamination, including the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers. OAG’s lawsuit sought to force Monsanto–which manufactured over 99 percent of the PCBs ever used in the U.S.–to pay for clean-up of PCB contamination in the District. This settlement, secured just two months after the lawsuit was filed, is OAG’s largest recovery to date in an environmental action. (more…)

Say hello to pretty Coco, a sweet senior looking for a fur-ever home to spend her golden years in. Coco is 14 years old and deaf, but that doesn’t stop her from being very attuned to her people – she responds to facial expressions and signals (smart pup)! Coco was recently rescued from a negligent situation and is now adjusting to being in a loving foster home. She’ll need a calm environment where she can continue to develop confidence and trust. Coco gets along well with other dogs and with older children. She loves to take slow walks and hang out with her people. She’ll need consistent grooming and regular veterinary care.
