There's a lot more reporting to be done about environmental conditions in South Philadelphia, and I hopefully I'll be involved in some of that over the course of the coming weeks. I will stress something I've learned generally over my time in journalism: When it comes to the environment and public health, government's bias is stacked heavily toward the side of business...in keeping you in the dark. Consider the Inquirer's report this weekend about the secrecy surrounding the highly flammable oil trains that pass through the heart of the city. Then consider the pipeline company that spent $50,000 to hire off-duty cops in rural Pennsylvania to "deter protest."
