Carus responding after LaSalle residents and mayor demonstration

Carus LLC is responding after LaSalle residents and Mayor Jeff Grove demonstrated in front of their corporate headquarters earlier this week. The group was carrying signs asking the company to give answers and have a meeting. The chemical company says their response to the fire has been powered by community leaders, led by local experts, and regulated by state and federal agencies with the public’s best interest. They says they will continue to work with Mayor Grove’s office, their customers, and their neighbors because that’s how they do business. Residents affected by the fire have been asking for a meeting with representatives from the chemical company. They’ve said they don’t trust what the chemical company has told them about the fire and about their health. Representatives from the company haven’t spoken directly to residents or the public since the fire.
