Polluter Pays Bill

Burt Gantz and lawyer Don Novak meet Toby Ziegler to discuss testimony on the Polluter Pays bill. Burt initially defends modest pollution as business cost, then defects: Kierney-Passaic falsified reports on contamination. Toby summons Josh Lyman via note, shifting bill from routine hearing to whistleblower protection crisis. Bill embodies clash between corporate practice and federal environmental enforcement.
