Hinchey, Lowey want GE to get going on the Hudson River cleanup

Over twenty years after the first designed cleanup, the Connecticut based General Electric, Inc., GE, ("we bring good things to life") is still trying to not clean up the source of PCB contamination they caused in the Upper Hudson River, holding us and the natural world "hostage". Contamination resulted in regulations about striped bass, an anadromous fish, that on Long Island can only be kept if its over 24 inches long (and other proscriptions against consuming fish from the river, once a month, etc.) Songwriter/musician Billy Joel once got arrested on purpose for having a 23 1/2" fish to draw attention to the plight of the fishermen out on the East End of Long Island, where he also builds boats.
