Colorado officials say they didn't endorse an Environmental Protection Agency cleanup operation that caused a massive spill of toxic wastewater from an inactive mine, disputing a key claim by federal agencies that state experts signed off on the plan.

...

a blow to the EPA's contention that outside technical experts supported its plan ... also raises questions about an investigation of the spill by the federal Bureau of Reclamation, which claimed two mining experts from the state approved of the project

A nice quiet threat to withhold highway funds and Colorado will produce the reports endorsing the mine project.

Another example of members of the corrupt Obama Administration going to great lengths to blame someone else for their mistakes which they will never admit...and they will go to great lengths to threaten, extort, bribe, etc. others to take the blame if they can’t spin or mutilate the truth to escape blame.

The state of Colorado is simply exhibiting their “white-privilege”. They must be stomped down. And I am sure the EPA and President Three-Putt will be doing that soon.

The epa, the irs, the NEA, the atf, the bureau of land management, and many other fed agencies need to be gone as they are now thug mafiosa theives who steal, rob, and perhaps murder, (God will judge them at their deaths when they will meet Jesus and bow the knee to Him to the glory of God the Father) need to be deleted from America forever.

Three states and two Indian reservations polluted. If you are going to go, go big.

Which Hollywooder is going to make a movie about this?

Never mind.

I don’t know how many government bureaucracies now exist beyond the Constitution. Some might be worthy of keeping, but probably 90% are useless... EPA, NLRB, BLM, DoEnergy, DoEducation, and many more.

Get rid of all the unproductive/unnecessary gov’t. agencies and save trillions of $$$.

Saw a program on TV a few years ago about the GAO (Gov’t. Accounting Office) and all of the VACANT buildings they oversee. Sell the damned buildings and property and use those dollars to pay down our country’s debt!

-— probably 90% are useless -—

They should all be gotten rid of, but they’re nothing compared to our unfunded liabilities which will eventually be written off. It won’t be pretty.
