What Would You Like to Ask Erin Brockovich?

If you attend her meeting in Fridley, or if you were to interview her, what questions do you have for the famed consumer advocate?

What questions do you have for Erin Brockovich as she visits Fridley Wednesday to address local cancer concerns?

We asked for questions for Brockovich on the Fridley Patch Facebook page Tuesday night. Two responses so far:

"Assuming Fridley has a statistically significant elevated cancer rate that is caused by some environmental factor, can you determine if that elevated risk of cancer was just historical, is still current, or both?"

"... our high Fridley cancer rates seem heavily influenced by a high lung cancer rate (which I believe is not usually correlated to the kind of ground-water contamination we’re worried about). So how will you determine that the elevated Fridley cancer rates are outside the range of random variation?"
