Taxpayers paying to clean up after Pence family [View all]

http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-pence-family-gas-stations-indiana-20180713-story.html

Vice President Mike Pence turns nostalgic when he talks about growing up in small-town Columbus, Indiana, where his father helped build a Midwestern empire of more than 200 gas stations that provided an upbringing on the "front row of the American dream."

But what he doesn't talk about is the more than 85 contaminated sites left behind.

Don't you hate it when businesses leave their mess for taxpayers to clean up?
