This has become a fascinating case in Federal-vs.-state jurisdiction in matters related to professional licensing. The last I heard, the licensing board for professional engineers in the State of Colorado has filed a formal complaint against members of the EPA project team in this case for practicing engineering without a professional license in Colorado.
Lock them up.
As noted by the geologist who predicted the disaster in an editorial published TWO WEEKS PRIOR to the disaster:
This was a premeditated and intentional act designed to gain control of development on public and private lands.
People along the Animas River know what happened and how bad it is all too well. We visited Durango and rode the train last fall. The river bottom is a red mess. I don’t see how it is possible for there to be very much living in it at all.
They thought a Democrat would win the next Presidential election so it would all be covered up or ignored even if exposed.
Has anyone heard a single PEEP from the radical EnviroWeenies on this one? I haven’t!
I mean, this would be the PERFECT disaster to EXPLOIT for monetary gain for their ‘clubs.’ How about a whole bunch of naked chicks live on rafts on the river until it’s cleaned up? Or maybe chain themselves to trees along the riverbank?
Or do Enviros only target and rail against Private Industries? Will they continue to worship at the altar of Big Government, even in the face of a disaster such as this?
Hypocrites.
