Michigan legislative action thread
She was white.
And not a lesbian.
If the EPA “did their job” in Flint, why did their regional administrator just resign?
To spend more time with her family?
Is she another of Obama’s great appointees?
In liberal government, infrastructure planning is always supplanted by social planning.
It’s quite clear that the EPA is a political tool for social justice. Screw the loyal libtards. Just give them another speech and a social program to keep the survivors voting your way.
Thanks for the post.

DISMANTLE/DEFUND/DOWNSIZE EPA
Sooooo...
How much did the city spend over the last 50 years maintaining and upgrading its water system?
And who was in charge?
It is time to Abolish the EPA and put them in Jail!!!
Resigning is the way that government hacks avoid criminal investigations and get to live happily with us paying for their retirement and health care.
Did their job on Flint just like they did their job on the Animas Fiver.
From WSJ editorial a few days back.
“If there were ever a moment for federal action, this would seem to be it. MDEQ and the EPA were chatting about Flint’s system as early as February. MDEQ said it wanted to test the water more before deciding on corrosion controls, though it isn’t clear that federal law allows this. In a May email to the EPA, a MDEQ staffer said that requiring a corrosion study “will be of little to no value†because, hey, we’re heading to Lake Huron any day now. EPA did not intervene.
EPA Region 5 water expert Miguel Del Toral worked up an internal memo in June flagging the lack of corrosion control as “a major concern†for public health. He further noted that Flint’s testing might be producing misleading results, as the city told residents to flush toilets before collecting a sample, which can wash away lead. If contaminated water had flowed somewhere inhabited by a manatee, the feds would have sped to Michigan.
But here’s how the region’s top EPA official, political appointee Susan Hedman, responded in a July 1 email to Flint’s Mayor Dayne Walling, after Mr. Del Toral’s memo was leaked: “When the report has been revised and fully vetted by EPA management, the findings and recommendations will be shared with the City and MDEQ and MDEQ will be responsible for following up with the City.†She also noted over email that it’s “a preliminary draft†and it’d be “premature to draw any conclusions.†The EPA did not notify the public. This report rotted and wasn’t released for months while tawny, infected water ran from faucets across Flint.

Gina McCarthy’s level of corruption is criminal & should be prosecuted. Never happen. Corruption is rewarded by Democrats in DC.
Probably the same folks that released the "orange river" of toxins of mine waste out west, but hey, they're dems and "the best and brightest" - just ask them.
Too busy fining citizens for backyard ponds?
She did her job.
She got the issue of “lead” into the public discussion it’s called “heightened public awareness”.
She left to make it appear as if she screwed up.
The idea is to use the issue of lead in paint to condemn low income housing and relocate the inner city trash to the suburbs.
Going to leave a whole lot of condemned building in the inner cities that will have to be cleaned up or torn down and some developer will be able to pick up real estate for development on the cheap.
Wonder who that developer could be?
“Doing their job” only means prostrating themselves before the alter of Obama. Occasionally one of them needs to be sacrificed for the good of the lord.
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.
Are the people in Flint the only ones in America that do not drink bottled water?
McCarthy is the worst EPA head ever. How many environmental disasters keep occurring on her watch?
