'Michigan is seeking additional assurances over pledged federal funding for the Flint water crisis, but state officials say the Environmental Protection Agency has indicated it will be able to provide enabling grants.

President Donald Trump’s administration reportedly ordered the agency to temporarily halt all new contracts or grants, raising concerns the freeze could jeopardize or delay at least $100 million in congressionally approved funding that is expected to help Flint replace lead service lines and make other infrastructure improvements.

While it’s not clear what parts of that freeze may remain intact, the EPA Office of Public Affairs sent an interagency notice to Michigan and other states on Tuesday indicating it will continue to award environmental program grants and revolving loan grants, according to Snyder’s office.

Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Director Heidi Grether thanked EPA Acting Administrator Catherine McCabe in a Wednesday letter but told her “any additional clarification you can provide regarding future federal funding to the states would be greatly appreciated.”'

Flint funding may flow despite Trump’s EPA freeze

Your great President Trump is taking care of it.

So, we have the city and state neglecting their own infrastructure and we are paying for it? They should cough up the money.

Because he's not invested in Flint. Trump DOES however hold interests in the Keystone pipeline.

Besides.............Flint's water is already undrinkable, so Trump is gonna try for an even bigger screw up by letting them put the pipeline across the Ogalala Aquifier and having it pollute all the drinking water for the entire midwest.

Even if the city and state don't do their jobs, we should still make sure the people in Flint have clear drinking water.

Oh bullshit on the Ogalala. It's got thousands of miles of pipelines crossing it. Look up a map.

Because the environment is important to them only when they can put people out of business with their regulations...

Democrats running cities and states have chosen to spend tax dollars on buying votes and enriching themselves and their donors vs replacing their crumbling infrastructure. Why should taxpayers in other states now have to pay to fix their problems?

To be fair its not just Dem run municipalities. Tax dollars are used to buy votes and campaign donations. To buy and repay favors. Instead of spending the money wisely.

There was a state that was claiming hardship, that schools were desperate for money. Meanwhile the governor was spending millions on her pet project, a goddamn gold plated palace to display the states historical documents. Just the flooring was over $400 a square yard and that was over 20 years ago. So schools are going to hell yet she allocated millions for her pet building...holy shit talk about lack of priorities.

The only state which seems to have its head on straight is NH, I love their small government approach. They don't need a multi million dollar monument of a DMV building, they threw a single wide up on blocks. For most things you just stop by your local clerk's office.

No he doesn't have any interest in the Keystone line.

Elections have consequences, maybe they should have kept a closer eye on the shit politicians they elected to run the city. Now they want us to pay for their decisions, screw them.

I disagree. I don't want to see children dying because their parents voted for the wrong people.

OK, I'd be good with a loan guarantee and let the city pay the money back. Or the City could issue bonds to raise the money. If that means a higher property tax on the residents, I'd be ok with that too. They need to learn, poor decisions have consequences. This fuck up and expect others to bail your ass out is bullshit. The city has known for decades what those pipes were made from and they sit on their ass till it becomes a crisis, BS. Ever heard the old saying, "Poor planning on your part does not necessarily constitute and emergency on my part."? They have ways of dealing with it on their own, they just don't want to pay the piper.

If what you claim is true, then you should have no problems finding a link or two to back it up.
