Flint Michigan ... do I have to say anything else.
You have a democratic mayor, a republican governor and the EPA. It is hard to point the finger at anyone in particular but the government has clearly failed them. My question is, way back when Flint was rolling in Detroit money, long before we heard of Michael Moore, why didn't they replace those lead pipes? We knew lead pipe was bad when I was a kid. They also knew about acid rain and the effect of low pH water on lead. My water here, pretty much does not touch any kind of metal until it hits the faucet. |

(NYT) — A top aide to Michigan’s governor referred to people raising questions about the quality of Flint’s water as an “anti-everything group.” Other critics were accused of turning complaints about water into a “political football.” And worrisome findings about lead by a concerned pediatrician were dismissed as “data,” in quotes. "That view of how the administration of Gov.

"EPA Region 5 Administrator Susan Hedman has offered her resignation effective February 1, and EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy has accepted given Susan's strong interest in ensuring that EPA Region 5's focus remains solely on the restoration of Flint's drinking water," the agency said. In late June, then-Flint Mayor Dayne Walling wrote to Hedman, seeking information about the issue of lead in Flint's drinking water. She essentially shot him down in her response. "The preliminary draft report should not have been released outside the agency. When the report has been revised and fully vetted by EPA management, the findings and recommendations will be shared with the City and MDEQ (Michigan Department of Environmental Quality) -- and MDEQ will be responsible for following up with the City," Hedman wrote. She had also fallen under fire for allegedly retaliating against EPA employees involved in investigating sexual harassment cases. |

Wonder if those are also the fault of the Republican governor...or could it be the mayor? http://www.businessinsider.com/why-i...ngerous-2013-6 This problem is actually 100 years old and they have ignored it for at least 50 of them when lead water pipes were identified as being dangerous, particularly with low pH water from "acid rain". Lead was such a problem that it was banned in paint in the 60s and they started moving away from lead solder in copper piping. I was already using lead free solder in 1976 when I put on my addition. That is an indefinitely small exposure when compared to the entire pipe being lead. Flint and all of Michigan was rolling in money at that time and they could have afforded to replace the pipes. |

Make your stupid comments, but we know that two Democrat mayors let the problem slide right on by. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |
