buried in the fourth paragraph:

EPA and contractor crews accidentally unleashed 1 million gallons of wastewater . . .

The EPA really screwed this up. They should drop the effort to destroy the American economy and focus on their actual mission.

What would have happened to the official whose company they were investigating when they caused this spill, if that company had been responsible?

Yeah, I know EPA is not only above the law, they are the law, and the judge.

I hope the EPA officials who caused this are drug through the same wringer that anyone else would be.

By “wringer” you mean promotion, right?

The EPA was looking for violations.

I suspect that finding none, they decided to create the crisis.

No. I mean they should be drawn and quartered just like they do to anybody that has the misfortune to cross them.

I wonder if there was any legal action the EPA was conducting when the poison was released.

Is this a pretext to confiscating the mine?

The standard of care for a government employee in the performance of his duties is not negligence, but gross negligence.

I’d like to see the cost for the cleanup to come out of the EPA’s budget directly, without reimbursement, and not from the general fund.

Tis a beautiful thing. They fine themselves, make the check out to “EPA,” and use the money to pursue more innocents. Kind of like the fed — creating money out of thin air.

NM media is more aggressively pointing the finger at the EPA being the cause than the CO media. Don’t get it.
