Et al,

One could ask, tongue-in-cheek, why New Jersey got all the hazardous waste dumps and California got all the lawyers?

Yeah, and once the cleanups finally got started we ended up with BOTH.

And, of course, in the interim, the lawyers managed to make sure that instead of industry funding SuperFund through a fee on producers of hazardous materials, the taxpayers would instead pay for the cleanups (something to keep in mind about the new TSCA reg - see how long it takes for the taxpayer to be on the hook despite the user fee promise).  http://www.rff.org/blog/2009/reinstating-superfund-taxes-good-or-bad-policy
