New Mexico PING!
Uh oh. Dumping toxins on Native American land.
That’s almost as serious as naming a sports team after them.
Montezuma’s UHHHH. Nixon’s Revenge!!! NO Wait!
Bush’s Fault!!
Fine the EPA, and let BP choose the amount.
There is nothing to worry about. It’s totally harmless. The EPA said so.
Obama’s River of Tears.
No wonder the EPA was in such a hurry to take action!
This is sad. I used to fish the San Juan river as a kid. The federal government protects us again.
Every article should lead with caused by the EPA, but to the casual headline skimmer, EPA isn’t obvious. Later in the article it is indicated that the spill is caused by an EPA supervised crew, so the language is softening EPA’s role. I wonder if there is a media plan to water down the reports and then disappear the incident down the memory hole, vs a tirade against the private sector if a spill of this magnitude has been caused by a company?
so..... can the sovereign Navajo nation sue the sovereign United States of America
Experts from the U.S. Forest service set a backfire out in the Big Bend area of Texas several years ago for fire prevention. The ranchers knew the wind was too high, but the experts went ahead with their plans. The fire got away from them, burned thousands of acres, killed livestock and destroyed thousands of dollars worth of fences.
No one ever gets fired for totally screwing up a government job. Union workers are special that way.
It is the EPA mine spill
The EPA did this intentionally. Bammy is looking for ways to create massive unrest which could include a water crisis. Notice the fires everywhere, too? He’s itchin’ to stay in office and create a scenario where he can do it.
So how much is the EPA going to fine the EPA for this toxic spill? Will they files papers to have them (EPA) shut down for such an egregious violation?
This is very probably going to destroy the utility of Lake Powell for 10 years or more.
Albuquerque Battles to Leave Arsenic in the Water
And now the EPA has dumped arsenic, lead and mercury into the water by the ton.
Obama Administration vs. Tombstone(the short version of the story is that the 0bama Admin. attempts to wipe Tombstone off the map over arsenic in one of its two wells.)
The Navajo should mount up and arrest every EPA goon they can find within 500 miles. Throw them in jail or a concentration camp and let Navajo justice work itself out.
They are justified as it is a matter of their national sovereignty.
How can there be a nation within a nation, with its own laws?
