Obama Admin. knew about contaminated water in Flint

Timothy Birdnow

The Obama EPA knew that the water in Flint, Michigan, was filthy and contaminated but did nothing, a Federal judge has ruled, paving the way for civil lawsuits.

From the Daily Caller:

The EPA under former President Barack Obama was too slow to intervene in the case, according to U.S. Judge Linda Parker, who ruled that the federal government was not immune from legal action in the case. More than a dozen lawsuits were filed against Michigan and city officials after researchers discovered in 2016 that Flint’s water contained elevated levels of lead in 2014 and 2015.

"The impact on the health of the nearly 100,000 residents of the City of Flint remains untold,” Parker wrote in her opinion. "It is anticipated, however, that the injury caused by the lead-contaminated public water supply system will affect the residents for years and likely generations to come.”

The EPA knew Flint officials "were not warning Flint’s residents that they were being supplied lead-laced water. Quite to the contrary, the EPA learned that State and local officials were misleading residents to believe that there was nothing wrong with the water supply,” the judge added.

While Obama eventually moved on this, he never actually delivered a dime in aid; it had to wait until the Trump Administration for money to reach Flint to address the problem. Meanwhile, the good people of Flint have taken in far too much lead, a cause of brain damage and other serious health issues.

Of course, Flint is a Democratic stronghold, so we know about the brain damage part...
