It's not the switch. They fucked up on how the water was treated. Or lack of treatment.
And the bloody EPA knew the people of Flint were drinking toxic water. Outrageous. Why wasn't the woman in charge freaking fired instead of allowing her to resign.
This is madness.
And this op ed is spot on the money.
'The EPA is been a hotbed of incompetence, corruption, partisanship, waste and fraud for years now and not a single person is made to stand against the wheel. If people want to hold Governor Rick Snyder accountable for this fiasco, fine. It happened on his watch.
But Gina McCarthy’s neck needs to be stretched out on the block right next to his.'
This woman McCarthy actually had the nerve to come out and claim the EPA did their job. Wow just wow.
If the EPA “did their job” in Flint, why did their regional administrator just resign?
I'm confused.... since when did the duty of providing water, change from being a local issue, to magically being the responsibility of the EPA?
Why are we constantly trying to find someone else to take responsibilities for our own problems?
The EPA is responsible for not stepping up to the plate when they first knew of the lead levels that were breaking all the EPA rules. It's just not being irresponsible.
It's freaking criminal that they allowed those good people in Flint to continue to drink toxic waste.
Heads should be rolling at all levels of the EPA to have allowed this to continue. By the way, that is the EPA'S freaking job.
