“Though it took the chemical giant nearly four years to formally address
the problems identified by regulators, and the company did not admit any
wrongdoing, officials celebrated the settlement and its associated
compliance program as a “model for industry” and a development that will
protect people from emissions of hazardous air pollutants.”

Four years of obstruction and a (for them) piddling $2.5 million fine.  Yes, that’s definitely a “model for industry”, or rather a “model FOR INDUSTRY”.  Regulatory capture and a gang of marauders in Congress pursuing environmental rapine.

Same old, same old.
