Compromise sought for Libby asbestos victims By TED MONOSON, The Missoulian
WASHINGTON - Libby residents would be compensated under a bill that the leader of the Senate has vowed to bring up after the legislative body returns from its weeklong Easter break.
But the city's residents who have asbestos-related diseases caused by a vermiculite mine run by the now-bankrupt W.R. Grace and Co. should not expect those checks just yet.
The measure is facing stiff opposition from both Democrats and Republicans. Some Democrats say it would not provide enough money for asbestos victims, while some Republicans say it's too expensive.------------------------------------------- posted 8:21 AM :: reference link ::
