The congressman who represents the area where the environmentally-unfriendly accident occurred comments through spokesman Tom Hayden:

Our office has been in contact with the TVA and local elected officials since the accident occured. Today, Congressman Davis toured the spill area and was briefed on the accident and what is being done to remedy the situation. During the briefing, Congressman Davis called on the TVA to take care of everyone affected in any way, be sure to prevent any toxins from getting into the water systems, and to present a plan to the public with solutions so this does not occur again
