There was one of those “community meetings” where attorneys basically ran the show and tried to pick up clients.

And I think they found some. I believe they filed suit against Pratt & Whitney, although to my knowledge, public officials have not been able to pinpoint any contaminants in the soil or in the water which might cause cancer.
