The Mayflower Arkansas Community

finds certain truths to be self-evident. We would expect elected officials, regulatory agencies and policy makers would acknowledge these same truths.

1) Lives have been affected. 2) Homes have been destroyed. 3) Ecosystem damage has occurred. 4) Human health effects are significant and ongoing.

A concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate, was the process of a rational mind. Catch-22. Joseph Heller.

All the impacted residents deserve fair and equitable compensation from Exxon, McDaniel said. This document contains various offers to homeowners, and only those in the Northwoods subdivision.
These offers are exceedingly complicated and very different for homeowners from one area of the subdivision to the next. They all breathed the same air, faced the same inconvenience and had their lives upended. Exxon can and should do more. AR AG Dustin McDaniel

May 9: AG McDaniels Hotline will connect consumers directly to a member of Mayflower Consumer Response Team, which he created to focus on issues directly impacted area residents. August 26: Congressman Griffin promised to call the governor to explore a further response from the health department after being met with numerous community health complaints.
