"Chemical distributors employ thousands of people in vital jobs to the United States' economy. They are an important part of the global supply chain operating in this region. Companies like Third Coast Terminals in Pearland operate with great care and safety through the Responsible Distribution program, and are worried about issues that can affect operations such as the fiscal climate, implementing costly healthcare mandates and tax increases. It's important to hear the concerns facing our local businesses. I'm here to listen and understand how those issues affect the people at Third Coast Terminals, and all of the constituents in the 22^nd District of Texas," Olson said.

Third Coast Terminals is a specialized storage, toll processing, contract blending and drumming operation that has continually served the Gulf Coast Petrochemical Industry for fifteen years using Responsible Distribution.
