American Bridge, the liberal PAC formed by David Brock, the former Clinton foe now dedicated to round-the-clock Hillary Clinton defender, is out today with a new report on environmental impacts and layoffs from Koch Industries. The report focuses on the business activities of the Koch brothers — more famous for hundreds of millions in political spending aimed at slashing government services, regulation and taxes — in twelve states, including Arkansas. 

From the report: “The Kochs’ extreme, self-serving agenda is bad for working families. And that reality is starkly embodied not only by their political persuasions, but by their business endeavors.”

The Arkansas section mentions Georgia-Pacific layoffs in Crossett and Fordyce, and pollution leading to exposure to toxic chemicals in Crossett schools and water pollution in Coffee Creek. You can read the full report here.
