It is sad that what was once a booming thriving town has dwindled down to the status of a ghost town. I have met many fine people from Picher. I know that a lot of people did not want to leave their little city and I understand the sentiment of it. Many of the people had never been or lived anywhere else but Picher. The tornado that hit was tragic. My heart goes out to those who lost loved ones. The state of the city is poor, with the money that was wasted on the clean-up effort, every family in Picher could have been given $150,000 each and the cost would have been considerably less than what was wasted in a failed attempt to remediate contaminated soil. The digging up of yards and replacing it with dirt from a neighboring town, what were they thinking? I believe a lot of pockets were padded at the expense of the people who lived there (their loss of residence), and the government, talk about a waste of the taxpayer's money! I heard that their are plans to turn the town into a wildlife refuge and marsh. Is there any truth to it?
