States like Texas and WV are notorious for their lax zoning laws that allow things like this chemical storage facility to sit right next to their drinking water supply, or as in the Texas example a fertilizer plant with highly explosive chemicals with houses and schools next door.

It's political, because their bad polices have allowed this to happen because they seem to think companies should be free to do what they want. They push this same mentality on the federal level, so it's good to show what happens in their own states that follow their own lack of standards.
