The issue of radioactive contamination in the Hazelwood School District now has full congressional coverage, thanks to U.S. Rep. Cori Bush , D-St. Louis, sponsoring legislation to clean up Jana Elementary School in Florissant. On Tuesday, Bush introduced a bill that serves as a companion to legislation proposed in February by U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley , R-Missouri. Both bills — dubbed 'Justice for Jana' — call for testing all of Hazelwood School District property for radiation, as well as helping pay for new construction in districts affected by decades-old nuclear contamination.
