Review for The Public Interest Law Center, Philadelphia, PA, USA
I have asked and asked the Public Interest Law Center to help me with a very serious Environmental Justice next to my house. The lot next to me was a contaminated industrial lot with many witnesses to presence of vats of acid and more. There is long history of illegal dumping. Improper and absent good practice building and environmental and public safety procedure in place. Riddled with environmental and other crimes. I have lost everything and my health is several jeopardized due to exposure, yet the project has Philadelphia political protection and the only reason Philcop has to NOT take this case and protect public health is it's own political and funding interests. They have stood by for years allowing my life to fall further and further and allowed these crimes to happen by NEVER doing anything. Now future residents will suffer.
