By analyzing the 2006 lobbying records Greenpeace has identified 215 industry lobbyists that spent an estimated $16.4 million \u2013 and possibly as much as $74.5 million \u2013 to defeat strong chemical plant security legislation. That is more than the $10 million the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spent on chemical security for the entire fiscal year of 2007 or the $25 million requested for chemical security by DHS for fiscal 2008.<\/p>\n<p><b>Num. pages:<\/b> 6<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download
