A former research scientist is suing the MPCA (Minnesota Pollution Control Agency) as she testified at a Senate hearing Tuesday. The scientist says that when some of her findings did not mesh with her bosses she was intimidated and then fired from her job. She specifically eluded to the PFC that 3M used to use to make a variety of products and then the toxins were dumped directly into the Mississippi River. The Commissioner is a former executive of 3M and did not attend the hearing. The Deputy Commissioner testified that she could not comment on pending litigation and due to data practices. 3M had no comment pending further litigation.
