Fukushima leaders, residents hold Tokyo rally for full-scale nuclear compensation
Fukushima leaders, residents hold Tokyo rally for full-scale nuclear compensation

Fukushima Gov. Yuhei Sato, farm and business leaders joined residents of the prefecture in Tokyo on Sept. 2 to demand full-scale compensation for evacuees and other victims of the ongoing Fukushima nuclear crisis.

Kozo Watanabe, a senior member of the House of Representatives of the ruling Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) and representing the Fukushima No. 4 constituency, said, "Fukushima residents accepted nuclear power plants under a national policy. The state should assume final responsibility. We will definitely realize budgets and laws (to provide compensation)."

Gov. Sato and other members of the Fukushima delegation later visited the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to deliver a 10-point petition including demands for greater consultation services via a redress resolution center for nuclear refugees in case a settlement can't be reached with TEPCO. The 10 points also included demands for compensation to all Fukushima residents for inflicting psychological damage as well as consideration for those who have evacuated voluntarily.

...Matsumoto later said at a news conference, "We want them to restore Fukushima Prefecture to its original state."

"We want them to restore Fukushima Prefecture to its original state."

It is more likely to end up as the nation's nuclear waste repository.
Seriously.

Worse, this guy is the vice gov.
