We canât know whatâs in the chemical plants, because if we know the terrorists will have won.
âYou know where they are if you drive around,â Abbott told reporters Tuesday. âYou can ask every facility whether or not they have chemicals or not. You can ask them if they do, and they can tell you, well, we do have chemicals or we donât have chemicals, and if they do, they tell which ones they have.â
âŚ.
âCollected under the federal Community Right to Know Act, the information was made available upon request by the state for decades to homeowners, the media or anyone else who wanted to know where dangerous chemicals were stored. But, as WFAA-TV recently reported, the Texas Department of State Health Services will no longer release the information because of the attorney generalâs ruling.WFAA reported that the department turned down the stationâs request for information.
Abbott contends the state is required to withhold the data under state homeland security exemptions, because evildoers could use it to gain access to the chemicals and terrorize communities.â
