520			_a"From the top of the Louisiana capitol in Baton Rouge, the importance of the ExxonMobil refinery is hard to miss. To the south, just beyond the governor's mansion and along the broad brown Mississippi River, the refinery's vast expanse dominates the landscape. The company said its refinery and companion chemical plants are among the area's largest employers, with 4,300 workers, and its largest taxpayer, accounting for 10 percent of local tax revenue. The refinery is also a big polluter. But that's something city leaders and most residents don't talk about much, here or in other industrial towns." (FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM) This article discusses the political influence of the nation's refineries that allows them to fight "regulatory crackdowns on pollution."
