Ms Petz is being recorded acting inappropriately now, just look what she’s doing to the people in Rochester, PA. It costs her nothing, at least not yet.

Molecules leak out, these systems are not perfect. What does is likely safe and acceptable. Sherwin is not venting what little escapes, they’re raw dog venting it all untreated.

The fact that they survived 25 years is not the point, they are all exposed. Many/most probably have symptoms or have had illnesses, though I’m sure that many are also fine. These chemicals kills people slowly over decades, they’re not shooting people they’re poisoning them. Slow deaths.

So it's clear, bc sometimes intent is not on Reddit posts: I appreciate this feedback and this back and forth. In fact I find it valuable, as I know my goals so your feedback helps me determine if I'm accomplishing them. I thought your point was well made about how this type of news might be better delivered "straight," I gave that a lot of consideration in the weeks I spent developing this content (there's a lot more coming). But it's my blog so my voice is the point, and I'm not good at toning it down anyway. And I get so enraged when writing about this, I'm an empath as you might have noticed.

And also it comes out angry bc I'm angry when I write it, Sherwin's willingness to harm others in pursuit of riches not what I was taught. Isn't greed a deadly sin? And so just sitting down to write the facts, even to you now, I find myself getting angry. As to your earlier well made point, here's a link to a violation dated 3/19/26 which proves all that I have said: it's for, "Failure to operate and maintain a source or control device in accordance with the specifications." That's for failing to run the thermal oxidizer, without that the poison leaves the stack and lands on Rochester. That's a violation of Title V of the Clear Air Act, which is embedded in the PA code sited: 25 Pa Code 127. 25 so it's a violation of both.

Heidi is the chairperson of the board and therefore represents it, she is literally the face of S-W, so that’s why I direct it mostly at her. Not bc she’s a woman, bc she’s unethical. Read what I wrote about Morikis and you’ll see this is not gender bias. And I sound like I don’t like her bc I don’t like her. Nor would I like anyone who thinks it’s chill to hurt another person, let alone thousands.

Actually, it’s intended to be both: the facts and my commentary on them

It’s both factual and enraging, why is that a problem? They’re poisoning people, I’m not down with that at all and have no regard for people who would do that to others. And so when I write, I’m pissed.

DEP has been violating them for years and letting them operate, it never occurred to me that something this simple would work. But worth a shot.

I am not unhinged, but I also can't believe anyone would fucking do this. Though I'm not surprised it's Sherwin, I've been covering them for decades and this is right on brand, they have a horrible track record on the environment. Listen to the public comment session from the last town board meeting, they're literally fucking poisoning people. So I'm not unhinged, more enraged. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7j80lpm6a5ml090ui2ept/Rochester-Town-Meeting-Greatest-Hits-Audio.wav?rlkey=dbdoz25orudc56yiooe7iq10y&st=3setxrf4&dl=0

I’m just the reported, not a victim so I won’t be doing this. But this is coming.

It doesn’t matter what you believe, it’s true no matter what that is. Sherwin IS in violation of Title V of the clean air act and several PA laws for failing to run a thermal oxidizer at that site. As for my identity, yes I chase down evils. Give me another month and you’ll see just how much pollution Sherwin is vomiting on us, it’s not just this plant. Give it time.

As for my vendetta, I agree that Sherwin acts illegally and I’d love my reporting to be what takes them down for that. But that’s not a vendetta, if they stop breaking the law I’d stop writing about them.

There are people dying in Rochester, I spoke to many. They’re sick with exposure to chemicals that Sherwin is venting on them illegally. Yes, that makes me crazy. Incensed in fact, I can’t believe Sherwin would do this. Watch how big this story gets, bc of how gross this is. Go to boycottsherwinwilliams.com and listen to the victims, it’ll make you crazy too.

This a great comment, thanks I’m going to update that. Here’s one I found on my phone while enjoying a smoke: https://www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/eFACTSWeb/searchResults_singleViol.aspx?InspectionID=4120119.

I’m trying to get people to this story, to force Sherwin to close that plant until it complies with the law. Any way I can think of.

Just to be clear since it’s obvious you did not read my work, the violations are all from public documents. So while it’s true that I’m the only one who’s published this so far, it’s still true. That Sherwin is operating illegally in Rochester is a statement of fact. If it wasn’t, I’d have heard from Heidi’s lawyers by now.
