republicans force courts to wrist slap pollution offenders

What if your pollution caused untold suffering to thousands of Texans? $2M fine, tops. That's just a few minutes pay to a big oil company.
Federal prosecutors want a jury to decide Citgo's punishment in the company's sentencing for felony Clean Air Act offenses.

Using a jury would resolve questions that surfaced during a recent hearing about whether U.S. District Court has the power to impose fines above the $2 million limit set by law, prosecutors wrote in a motion filed this week in U.S. District Court Judge John Rainey's court.
republicans are all about their cronies. Promoting the public welfare? No way.
