If the EPA "did their job" in Flint, why did their regional administrator just resign?

Best I can tell, that white haired “woman” is not the EPA regional administrator but the higher-level Washington administrator.

The EPA likes to bully citizens who own beautiful land so they can confiscate it for the use of their donors/backers in the Sierra Club etc...

Ever notice how the EPA never finds endangered 'snail darters' on ugly land?

That said, the EPA doesn't give a damn about American citizens...or children or unsafe water. Trump should disband the organization and replace it with the CPA - Citizen Protection Agency... A group that would protect everyday citizens from incompetent thugs in other government agencies... including those who oversee safe water.

Engineering observation is that CITY and LOCAL water lines are NOT been lead-soldered since the 1920s.

The lead came from the river. They had switched sources to save money. (more bucks for their obscene bennies no doubt)

All of this is going to make President Cruz’s plan to get rid of the EPA that much easier next year.

Are the people in Flint the only ones in America that do not drink bottled water?

There has already been “news” stories on the problems of lead paint in older buildings being one of the causes of the violent behavior we are seeing in the inner city minorities that are living in these buildings.

This started over a year ago.

Obama’s policy of moving the low income housing from the inner city to the suburbs has already been started but there needs to be some type of “emergency” so it can be done “for the children”.

The liberals idea of the inner city renewal has been ongoing for over 50 years but it will never work as long as there is all the violent crime in the inner cities.

Move the violent crime out to the suburbs and the liberal elites that moved to the suburbs to get away from the crime will move back to the inner cities to get away from the crime.

Inner cities will become too expensive for anyone to live in but the elites.
