Title: T.V.A. to Pay $43 Million on Projects in Spill Area

Summary: A coal ash spill in Roane County, Tennessee will cause the Tennessee Valley Authority to spend 43 million dollars on economical development projects. The money will not be spent directly on the spill; however it will be used on capital improvements to the county school system, a public relations campaign and projects like a new sewage treatment plant and the conversion of an old movie theater into an arts education center.

Critique: After reading this article, I feel that the T.V.A should consider a different approach because of the upset with some members of Roane County. The authority has spent $40.2 billion to buy out 142 property owners. This is a waste because not everyone is satisfied.
