Lead Contamination Flint Is EPA At Fault?

In June of 2015 Flint’s mayor  wrote the EPA’s Region 5 head

Asking information on the amount of lead

Susan Hedman basically told the mayor to go pound sand

Typical of the arrogance of the EPA whose regulatory power thirst is completely out of hand

Lead contamination is no laughing matter

Stifles mental growth and turns human into mad hatters

There may a slender ray of hope in that Ms. Hedman has resigned

As opposed to the bureaucratic response to an inept administrator being reassigned.

Meanwhile the state and the city are playing the finger pointing blame game

Increasing cries from the citizens that it’s a matter of race which racial tensions will inflame
