We’ve covered before the ongoing saga related to a proposed toxic waste dump in Laredo, Texas, that could risk poisoning the Rio Grande and whether or not the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) will put a stop to this.
But if you didn’t already come to the conclusion that the people pushing for the toxic waste dump were awful, here’s a fresh reason to think so. It looks like one of the lobbyists pushing hardest for this is a big game hunter who likes to turn hippopotamuses into bar furniture.
Take a look at the screenshot below, sent along by a friend of said lobbyist, Geoff Connor. This is Connor’s Facebook page, as of last week.
As a reminder, one of the arguments that proponents of this landfill have been making is that it will be environmentally-friendly (despite being situated in a floodplain).
Connor is, of course, the former general counsel to the TCEQ. That’s why he was hired to bring this landfill over the line.
Other notable douches who love them some big game hunting include Donald Trump, Jr. and Eric Trump, as famously depicted here:
To-date, Beto O’Rourke and Lupe Valdez have been deadly silent about this proposed landfill, despite it being staunchly opposed by voters they need to gain support from in order to stand a chance of winning in November.
