“....ongoing as federal officials seek to maintain contamination. “

Slip? Or WTF?

[PoloSec]

Begs the question... what was an EPA heavy equipment operator doing at the site to have such an accident, my guess is they wanted to get proof of something and in an effort of sabotage lost control.

This is what you get when you hired Democrat liberal for Governor. Chickenpooper is useless in defending Colorado from such federal abuses.

It’s not full responsibility until there is acountability - i.e. people fired, fines paid out. The fines will come from their normal budget, and yes, that means they’ll have to reduce their workforce to pay the fines.

the cleanup must be accomplished from current appropriations.

Give the bureaucrats shovels and send them to Colorado to do some real work

Janet Reno took full responsibility for Waco in 1993. Nobody went to jail. Nobody got fined. So this is no BFD.

The All-Out-Obama-Assault-For-America's-Final-Destruction has begun. We elected him, then we took away his rubber-stamp Dem-controlled Senate and House.

We turned on Dear Leader. And we must pay.

[Sequoyah101]

and their obligation to this responsibility is what? To spend more taxpayer money to clean up their eff up?

Perfect.

[RatRipper]

“Full responsibility”

Oh, so there will be a huge fine and jail time???

“EPA ‘accepting full responsibility’ for Colorado river spill,”

One of the easiest parts of the job. Taking responsibility for that which they are responsible. Now for the tough part. Making it right.

I accept your resignation from the EPA and the termination of all pension and or health benefits accrued.

Yep. What good is accepting responsibility if you do not accept the consequences of your actions.

The EPA poisoning of multiple state water supplies is going to be magnitudes worse than the BP spill.

I still have not seen evidence to determine whether the action was intentional or accidental.

[TigersEye]

So they’re going to reimburse everyone who suffers financial damage due to this effup? lol sure

[Myrddin]

Not only accept responsibility, but fund the clean up with the budget allocated to the EPA. Send the former employees of the EPA home and disband that bunch of losers.
