Tesoro refinery deaths
On April 25 United Steelworkers Local 12-591 held a memorial for the seven employees killed from the April 2 Tesoro refinery explosion in Anacortes, Washington. Some 800 family members, coworkers, friends, and neighbors filled the auditorium at Anacortes High School to commemorate their lives.

In April 2009 Washington State inspectors cited Tesoro’s Anacortes refinery for a number of “serious” safety violations and more than 130 lesser violations. Washington State allowed the refinery to continue operations after Tesoro appealed the citations.

Point of view is refreshing
I’m a prisoner on 24/7 lockdown and was very fortunate to run across a recent issue of your weekly. I was awed at the angle, perspective, and its interpretation of everyday news. Your point of view is so refreshing and left me wanting to know more. My Newsweek and Times subscriptions are very narrow-minded!

Is there any way I can receive this literature for free until I am able to happily pay?
