Paint Spill on Massachusetts Highway

You know how tough it can be to clean up a little paint. Imagine the mess created by 100 gallons of the yellow paint used on highways. Officials in South Hadley, MA say they haven't gotten help from the state to clean up the mess. The paint leaked from a state Department of Transportation truck on May 1. Town Administrator Michael Sullivan says they've received no information from Mass DOT. A MassDOT official says power washing didn't work. Now, MassDOT says they're seeking cost-effective peoposals to remove the paint.
