Hillary Clinton's resignation from the Lafarge board, where she served since 1990, comes amid scrutiny over the company's practices. Lafarge, a French-owned cement plant in Alpena, Michigan, has faced allegations of environmental violations, including burning hazardous waste in its kilns. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources cited Lafarge for exceeding legal emissions limits, which the company disputes. Clinton's board membership raised concerns due to her husband's environmental stance, especially as Lafarge seeks to build a similar facility in New Braunfels, Texas, facing strong local opposition. Residents worry about potential pollution affecting their water supply. Lafarge insists it will not proceed with the Texas project until safety is assured. Meanwhile, the Alpena community expresses anxiety about the plant's impact on their environment and future.
