In early 2012, reports circulated detailing some of the
profit-centered entitlement raids that occurred at Bain Capital under
Republican Presidential nominee, Mitt Romney. The Mesothelioma Cancer
Alliance became intrigued when asbestos industry defendants appeared on a
list of these types of corporate liquidations and commissioned a
three-month investigation of the company’s handling of GS Industries
through journalist, Gary Cohn. What we uncovered is the true human
tragedy of collateral damage stemming from this profit model. We found a
community affected by decades of toxic exposure, gasping for breath
while picking up the pieces among an uncertain future.
