EPA Funding Grants To Clean UP Drinking Water In Red States About To Get Axed By Trump

[Nuthin' Fancy]

You definitely own the book of fools

Books FOR fools?
I don't own any books sold by Trump.

Explain? Water runs in pipes

It perculates through the ground and grabs industrial chemicals on the way.

well you need to know where it starts into the pipes. The pipes don't absorb it around housing. Lake Michigan is my source of water, how much industrial waste you think goes in there? Please stop with the sky is falling shit. It's so fking boring.

All those poor Trump supporters out there....when they voted for Trump, they didn't realize that they were voting to shorten their own lifespans and their family's lifespans.

Yes, MAGA voters are "owning the libs".....and owning themselves also.

The EPA ensures that we have clean water to drink and clean air to breathe....you know, important government stuff.

None of this shit matters in deranged MAGA world. None of this matters in the anti-government MAGA QAnon religion.

For example, Trump plans on screwing people in ruby red Idaho. If a Democrat was still president, the good people of Idaho would still be getting this funding to address contaminated water. --

Grant recipients across the country are holding their breath as the Environmental Protection Agency reviews scores of “environmental justice” grants, calling into question the future of projects meant to provide clean drinking water and disaster shelters to underserved communities — some of which are in Republican districts.

Contaminated water has been a constant concern in Pocatello, Idaho, where nitrate levels in local wells prompted the small city to seek federal grants to build sewer systems in areas without them.

Pocatello, the seat of Bannock County, where two-thirds of voters cast a ballot for Trump in 2024, scored a major win in July when the EPA awarded the city $16.5 million to undertake a sewer project that would greatly improve water quality — not only in Pocatello, but throughout the surrounding valley.

The project is underway, Pocatello Mayor Brian Blad said in an email, but the grant money is not flowing — as the EPA reviews and cuts grants awarded under environmental justice programs.

“The reimbursement system for the grant program is currently not active, which means the City is unable to process any reimbursement payments for the work we are completing,” Blad said. Although the pause won’t cause immediate delays, “we do not have the resources to cover the expenses indefinitely.”

The Environmental Protection Agency has known about PFAS health hazards for decades but only recently established legal limits on PFAS allowed in drinking water.

Did you notice everything trump targets are things that keep people safe and healthy. Why does he hate Americans so much.

Replacing sewers isn't environmental justice. Hand outs for the nonsense of environmental justice should end. It should never have been.

You might want to think about weaning yourself off those lead paint chips.

Now THAT is support for environmental JUSTICE. It's not cogent support but that's democrats.

I don't get it. How is building sewers helping drinking water? High nitrate levels are typically due to fertilization of crops and Idaho is a big ag state. Sewers don't carry nitrates in any volume, they carry mostly human waste.

Your link to WaPo has a paywall. Hard to believe anyone would actually pay for that tripe.

Democrats do not expect any kind of knowledge from people.
