The Environmental Protection Agency awarded Michigan $100 million in grant money to replace the Flint water system’s damaged infrastructure. The Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act of 2016 provided the funding for this grant that would help Flint replace its lead water pipes that have fallen into disrepair, the EPA said in a statement.
EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt said this grant is part of the Trump administration’s goal to improve the country’s water infrastructure.
“EPA will especially focus on helping Michigan improve Flint’s water infrastructure as part of our larger goal of improving America’s water infrastructure,” Pruitt said.
Michigan Republicans and Democrats praised the EPA’s decision to fund efforts to repair Flint’s water system.

You poor thing. Only liberal lunatics believe roads and hospitals are not possible without the federal government. You poor, liberal, Bernie sanders, Hillary, Obama, thing. LOL
Exactly!
Aww, are you having a senior moment?
I know this is complex, but it’s so sad to see someone in over their head like this.
Are you okay?
Should we call someone to come and sit with you and wipe the slobber off your chin?
You poor thing. Only liberal lunatics believe roads and hospitals are not possible without the federal government. You poor, liberal, Bernie sanders, Hillary, Obama, thing. LOL
Amway is in Michigan, right?
Ask them to help with the water problem in Flint.
Oh, you must be having a dimentia moment.
You don’t know you’ve been saying the same inaccurate thing over and over.
Without federal payments, you local hospital could close.
Without federal dollars, you’re interstate roads wouldn’t get built.
No repeat it again.
If you need help with medication to help you deal with your situation, I know of a few that might help. You can confirm it with your physician.
Yes it should be the duty of the city to maintain their own water, but right now, in order to fix the rust belt, I think we will just have to make some investments to help it turn around. At least this is fixing a concrete, specific problem, not redistributing the world's wealth in order to theoretically stop the Earth from warming one degree.
" One thing the Trump administration will have to deal with in order to revitalize manufacturing in rust belt cities is the legacy of pollution. Many old factories are polluted, and called "Brownfield" properties. Due to environmental regulations, and new owner must clean up the pollution before they can use the property, which makes the properties less valuable than buying a property never before used as a factory outside of town and putting a new factory on it. As a result the cities have hollowed out industrial cores. If the president and these cities want to have an industrial renaissance, Brownfield regulations need to be addressed to make old industrial property attractive to new industrial users."
Thanks for your post...
Thirty to forty years ago I worked in southeastern Michigan in a number a different locations where asbestos and many organic chemicals were dealt with very causally before the clamps came down from FedGov EPA or whatever.
For many years I worked in an environment with machine noise running 100db or more, applying chemical coatings to automotive parts where machines caught fire on a fairly regular basis as a matter of your daily work. It sounds more dramatic than it was. Although we did know the firemen rather well.
Back then I remember having read the MSDS about methylene chloride and me either pumping or pouring some when it gushed a large droplet into my eye. Nothing happened!
We didn't have eye wash stations back then, but I ran a few hundred feet to our drinking fountain and soaked my eye just in case.
Guys used to clean their tennis shoes with trichloroethane or toluene while their feet were in the shoes...
Bottom line, I think a lot of fear and nonsense is involved with brown-fields and environmental regs over the years. A culture of extreme caution enforced by government regulation does not inspire creativity or innovation.
You poor thing. Only liberal lunatics believe roads and hospitals are not possible without the federal government. You poor, liberal, Bernie sanders, Hillary, Obama, thing. LOL
Where are you in Oregon?
HUndreds if not thousands of rural hospitals would immediately close. The rest would definitely be in very bad shape.
Folks, our infrastructure needs to be upgraded. At times we will have to step in and help with local areas that can’t do it on their own for whatever reason.
Yep. Michigan doesn't have the cash for this. Children have been poisoned by their voting parents stupidity.
Unless you want to have a doctor in a cabin somewhere who can monitor your blood pressure and hire one nurse.
Or giving refugees lifelong food stamps and healthcare. Canada gives them just one year to become self-reliant but we put them on our federal teats for life.
Let's help Flint have clean water and kick out the illegals. I think it is called America First.
