  • Should Environmental Cleanup Liability Be Discharged in Bankruptcy?
    1357 THE UNSTOPPABLE FORCE HITS THE IMMOVABLE WALL: SHOULD ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP LIABILITY BE DISCHARGED IN BANKRUPTCY? INTRODUCTION Imagine you are a bankruptcy judge and a corporation has prop- erly filed for bankruptcy in your court.' The corporation is before you asking for the discharge of a debt that the corporation incurred prior to filing its bankruptcy petition.2 Your duty as a judge seems clear-to uphold the law and discharge the debtor of its prepetition liability, thereby giving the corporation the "fresh start" that bank- ruptcy law provides.3 Now imagine the debt the corporation is trying to shed is its lia- bility for damage the corporation caused to the environment. 4 You know this debt is not specifically listed among those identified by Congress as nondischargeable in bankruptcy.5 Further, this corpora- tion is responsible for many hazardous chemical sites that are leaking toxins into the environment. 6 The government has determined that the cleanup of these sites will cost tens of millions of dollars.7 If the corporation is allowed to avoid its liability, then the cleanup costs will be borne by innocent taxpayers.8 This outcome would provide incentive to other entities that deal with toxic wastes to ignore envi- ronmental protection laws, damage the environment, and simply plead bankruptcy when cleanup costs are imposed upon them.9 Now your duty is not so clear. A strict constructionist interpre- tation of the bankruptcy statute suggests that you discharge the cleanup costs because environmental cleanup liability is not specifi- cally listed as an exception to discharge. 10 However, if you discharge 1.

  • $400,000 Pat Day Mile Presented by LG&E and KU
    $400,000 Pat Day Mile Presented by LG&E and KU (Grade III) 95th Running – Saturday, May 4, 2019 (Kentucky Derby Day) 3-Year-Olds at One Mile on Dirt at Churchill Downs Stakes Record – 1:34.18, Competitive Edge (2015) Track Record – 1:33.26, Fruit Ludt (2014) Name Origin: Formerly known as the Derby Trial, the one-mile race for 3-year-olds was moved from Opening Night to Kentucky Derby Day and renamed the Pat Day Mile in 2015 to honor Churchill Downs’ all-time leading jockey Pat Day. Day, enshrined in the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame in 2005, won a record 2,482 races at Churchill Downs, including 156 stakes, from 1980-2005. None was more memorable than his triumph aboard W.C. Partee’s Lil E. Tee in the 1992 Kentucky Derby. He rode in a record 21 consecutive renewals of the Kentucky Derby, a streak that ended when hip surgery forced him to miss the 2005 “Run for the Roses.” Day’s Triple Crown résumé also included five wins in the Preakness Stakes – one short of Eddie Arcaro’s record – and three victories in the Belmont Stakes. His 8,803 career wins rank fourth all-time and his mounts that earned $297,914,839 rank second. During his career Day lead the nation in wins six times (1982-84, ’86, and ’90-91). His most prolific single day came on Sept. 13, 1989, when Day set a North American record by winning eight races from nine mounts at Arlington Park.
