Erin Brockovich Holds Town Hall Meeting in Charleston
Monday January 13, 2014

Nationally recognized environmental and legal activist Erin Brockovich and
her team conducted a town hall-style meeting at the Charleston Municipal
Auditorium Monday night in response to last week's chemical spill.
.
The meeting drew a few hundred area residents concerned about the water
situation and the responses provided by government and other officials.
.
"Our biggest fear is all this is going to be swept under the rug," one
resident said.
.
The town hall also brought out a woman who said her daughter is suffering
severe medical effects of the contaminated water.
.
Cindy (last name omitted to protect privacy), a South Charleston resident,
said her daughter is currently receiving medical care for a form of
pneumonia her doctor believes was caused by Thursday's chemical leak.
.
Cindy said her daughter took a hot shower with the contaminated water,
drank the water and washed dishes with it as the "do not use" order was
issued.
.
Cindy said her daughter vomited "jelly-looking stuff" and had trouble
breathing. Her eyes were burning and her lungs were producing a pink foam.
.
"I want to make the public aware of the medical issues," Cindy said.
.
Others were concerned about the effects of flushing water and industry
regulation.
.
Brockovich said while her organization is continuing to research the leak,
she wanted to see area residents to collaborate their efforts to "hold
those in position accountable," and said her organization would assist
citizen efforts to do so.
.
"You're the soldier in the trenches," she said.
.
A woman in the audience volunteered to start a Facebook page, and
Brockovich said her organization can publicize that information once it is
set up.

Concerning practices at Freedom Industries, where the chemical leaked into
the river, Bocock said, "Freedom's about as bad as you can get."
