Suppose a company wants to build a factory that will dump pollutants into the river. The company needs certain permissions from the government and wants tax breaks because they are bringing in jobs. The community is very much against this new environmental hazard and protests loudly. Many citizens are calling their state and federal legislators to say they don’t want the factory to be built. If the neopluralist philosophy holds true, which of the following is likely to happen?

a. Because business interests are privileged, the company will receive the permissions and tax breaks it is seeking. b. The citizens will soon tire of arguing against the inevitable and will reconcile themselves to the factory. c. To effect this change, these citizens will need to band together with a large, wealthy environmental lobbying group. d.
