An environmental public health threat
since 1979, cleaning up the Tar Creek Mining Disaster
Site is a huge challenge for the 2nd District’s
next Congressman. As a State House member Boren
supported efforts to immediately move the area’s
at risk children to a safer location through a voluntary
buyout.
As Congressman Boren will work in the spirit
of bipartisan cooperation to secure buyout funding
so all Tar Creek families can once again be safe,
and will tackle cleanup concerns head on so Green
Country’s pristine environment and water
quality remain the envy of the nation.
Representative Dan Boren believes that only the
federal government has the ability to help these
citizens with a voluntary federal buy-out for
all citizens. The State of Oklahoma has already
taken action help small children, but Boren believes
that all citizens should have the option to move
away from ground zero.
