EPA regional chief FINALLY resigns over Flint crisis - 22 months after residents first started complaining about the high levels of lead in the water
A regional director of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has resigned in connection with the drinking water crisis in Flint, Michigan.
Susan Hedman, the head of the agency's regional office in Chicago whose jurisdiction includes the state, will step down on February 1 so the government can focus solely on the crisis in the city.
High levels of lead have been detected in the impoverished city's water since officials switched from the Detroit municipal system and began drawing from the Flint River as a cost-saving measure in April 2014.
Some children's blood has tested positive for lead, a potent neurotoxin linked to learning disabilities, lower IQ and behavioral problems.

Indictments?
Flint needs more Muslim immigrants, they are impervious to lead poisoning.
No. Pension.
I’m shocked.
I thought the whole goal of this little project was to take out Gov. Rick Snyder and as many Republicans as possible.
“Flint needs more Muslim immigrants,”
Though I do agree Flint could use a good heterozygous jolt
to it’s gene pool adding the death cult genome would only
lead to self destruction.
Oh wait, I get it.
That was the attempt. Sis who lives nearby said the local people got the truth out. It was EPA who made the original screw up. Just like the river out west, political bureaucrats instead knowledgable people in charge.
Obama’s fault
White woman. Not apparently a lesbian.
Yeah, the Obola administration could fire one of them with no penalty or interest.
I used to live in Flint. (well, REEEEEAL close anyhow).
There is no shortage of Muslims there. Trust me on that.
Here’s the “typically diverse” Oboma-Michigan-Gary-Chicago-IL-IN bureacrats celebrating another demolition site.

If the Koch Brothers or Donald Trump, Willfully, Knowingly, and Deliberately, furnished ALL the Guests at one of their Resorts with POISONED WATER, would there be a Criminal Prosecution?
Good to hear that. When I lived in the area they would occasionally turn on the Flint River water plant whenever work was being done on the Detroit system. We were told via the media that our water would be a little bit harder than we were used to. Never noticed anything worse than that.
Do you have any references. I’m interested in how this may compares with the mine flooding in CO.
