Chambers County residents seek answers on cancer rates
Anahuac residents meet with lawyers at West Chambers County Library to share stories and data as the county funds a study. James Bagwell, a five year resident with two cancers, recalls his wife Ruthie who died in 2004 and urges discovery of cancer causes. The study, approved for 50 thousand dollars, enters a four phase path starting with community meetings and water district data from Anahuac and Mont Belvieu.
