Warren Dobson was a former worker at the Hooker plant. He reported the illegal dumping. That’s what broke the story. The heroes willing to speak up. The Michigan DNR came in and did their job. The company was fined and civil suits ensued.
But I keep thinking about the front page of the Observer.

Dobson’s whistleblowing came after editor Darwin Bennett’s refusal to be silenced no matter how heavy the threats.
Sadly, toxic waste doesn’t just go away. In Love Canal, and in all the dump locations. . .
The chemicals are.
And they will be for a long time.
All to say: in a time of powerful rich men full of toxic lies and propaganda, be a Dobson. Be a Bennett. Be a Lois Gibbs.
Speak up.
