Koch Bros. & Texas Hazardous Materials

The Koch Bros, the billionaire oil conglomerates which also own fertilizer plants, plants that can blow up due to very combustible materials, just made a $50K campaign donation to the Texas politician running for Texas governor, that politician is the present Atty General for that state. That Atty General just enacted a law which keeps the location of these fertilizer sites secret, a law which benefits the Koch Bros. Texas also lacks a state Fire Code law and prohibits it's counties from establishing their own fire codes. Texas also has no zone requirements so these very explosive fertilizer plants are located by schools and residential areas. Christie is a close admirer of the Koch Brothers.
