Not at all surprised.Doubt it.
The following is a sequence of events of the Flint water crisis.[16]
Flint water crisis - Wikipedia
Pre-switch
2014
- 1967–2013 – Officials for the City of Flint operate under a plan to use the Flint River as a backup emergency water source.
- November 29, 2011 - After the city declared a state of financial emergency three weeks earlier, Governor Snyder appointed Michael Brown as the city's Emergency Manager on November 29, effective December 1.[17] He was the first of four such managers who effectively took the place of the Mayor until 2015, when a Receivership Transition Advisory Board was appointed.[18]
- March 22, 2012 – County officials announce plans for a new pipeline to reduce costs by delivering water from Lake Huron to Flint.
- April 16, 2013 – The city approves the KWA contract.
- April 17, 2013 - Detroit terminates its water service contract.[19]
2015
- April 21 – After construction delays, the water source switch to the Flint River is completed. This date is considered the start of the water crisis.
- August 14 – The city announces a water boiling advisory for parts of the city. The advisory is lifted on August 20. A second warning is issued in September.
- October 2014 – Flint’s General Motors Flint Truck Assembly plant discontinues using Flint tap water due to corroding engine parts from high levels of chlorine.
- January 12 – City officials decline an offer to reconnect to Lake Huron water, concerned of higher water rates.
- January 21 – Flint residents complain of health issues caused by city water. Residents bring bottles of discolored tap water to a community meeting.
- February 26 – EPA manager Miquel Del Toral detects that lead levels in the water at the home of Flint resident Lee-Anne Walters is seven times greater than the EPA's acceptable limit.
- March 23 – Flint City Council members vote to reconnect with Detroit water. Emergency manager Jerry Ambrose overrules the vote.
- June 24 – EPA manager Miquel Del Toral states in a memo that Virginia Tech scientists, led by water expert Dr. Marc Edwards, found extremely high lead levels in four homes.
- July 9 – Flint Mayor Dayne Walling drinks Flint tap water on local television in an attempt to dispel residents’ fear of drinking the water.
- July 13 – In response to Del Toral's memo, a Michigan Department of Environmental Quality official tells Michigan Radio, “Anyone who is concerned about lead in the drinking water in Flint can relax.”
- September 8 – Virginia Tech’s water study team reports that 40% of Flint homes have elevated levels of lead.
- September 9 – MDEQ spokesman Brad Wurfel states that Flint needs to upgrade its infrastructure but is skeptical about Virginia Tech’s water study.
- September 11 – Virginia Tech recommends that the state of Michigan declare that the water in Flint is not safe for drinking or cooking.
How wonderfully thoughtful is Trump! Soon we won't have to go clear to China or India to show folks how severe air pollution can get.
yeah I'm losing because I'm getting four hundred a month more in my paycheck. yeah you're real bright.We're all losers under this president you stupid POS.Another lefty cry thread, want the feds to but out of immigration in the states, the National Guard is a States and now start crying and wetting their panties when the feds give the states more latitude with EPA.
Can’t please the whining lefty nuts.
Pathetic sore losers.
“People who are most affected by air pollution are the most vulnerable and these policy changes would mean even less protection for those people,” Janet McCabe, who served as the assistant administrator for the EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation until 2017, told HuffPost by phone. “It could mean yet more pollution in their neighborhoods.”
Okay, so I want to address this professionally, what is it you think happens differently for the rich people? just a little explanation would be appreciated.Yeah who needs clean air anyway. Only every living human being.
This president's goal to destroy America marches on with support from his loyal cult.
With little notice, President Donald Trump ordered the Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday to dramatically overhaul national clean air standards and make it easier for industry to pollute in areas where it’s already dangerous to breathe.
The executive order ― titled “Promoting Domestic Manufacturing and Job Creation ― Policies and Procedures Relating to Implementation of Air Quality Standards” ― reverses an Obama-era decision. The 2015 decision allowed the EPA to intervene in states that fail to meet National Ambient Air Quality Standards, forcing them to adopt federal regulatory plans to reduce ozone emissions that generally come from power plants, refineries and cement factories.
It opens the door to drastic changes in how science is used to set clean air rules, disqualifying huge amounts of peer-reviewed public health research in favor of industry-backed studies in a move that builds on steps EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt has already taken.
The order requires the EPA to speed up reviews of state plans to reduce air pollution, setting a strict 18-month deadline, and complete reviews of all pre-construction permits for industry within a year. Construction permitting is primarily a state-level issue; the language in the order, critics say, appears to be a dog whistle to polluters, suggesting the EPA would pull back on any oversight.

so which is it?pruitt will be back in east bumfuck, ok wondering what happened to his security detail long before any of this happens, if it ever does.
do you really think that no one will challenge this in court?
But so far he’s only managed to delay a few rules that hadn’t yet taken effect. His supporters, critics and boss have all promoted the perception that he’s repealed Obama’s environmental legacy and shredded America’s environmental rulebook—and no one has promoted that perception more energetically than Pruitt, who frequently sued Obama’s EPA when he was Oklahoma’s attorney general. Nevertheless, that perception is wrong. Pruitt’s problem is that major federal regulations are extremely difficult and time-consuming to enact, and just as difficult and time-consuming to reverse. The rulemaking process can take years of technical and administrative work that Pruitt and his team have not yet had time to do. And even if Pruitt manages to keep his job long enough to complete that process for any of his efforts to weaken clean-air and clean-water rules, the EPA will inevitably face years of litigation over each one.
The Myth of Scott Pruitt’s EPA Rollback
trumplings- they'll buy anything
what about Michigan? what does that mean exactly? can't you fkers on the left ever have a fking logical discussion. maverick, there , do you know what I mean?Like Michigan.Sorry, I don’t buy your doom and gloom BS, it is requiring states to take control of their own environment.
is he saying he wants the federal government to dictate to states on clean water?...you think the federal government is better...LMFAO!!!Like Michigan.Sorry, I don’t buy your doom and gloom BS, it is requiring states to take control of their own environment.

Corporate tax cuts.
26 Companies Not Paying Federal Tax
"
Report: 26 U.S. Companies Not Paying Federal Income Tax"
"The latest update estimates that all but four of the 30 Fortune 500 companies that paid an average negative federal income tax rate from 2008 to 2010 continued to do so for 2011. Among the companies listed are Pepco Holdings and General Electric."
At a state and city level, many of these rich companies will do deals which also see them pay no taxes. They then become uber competitive and smaller companies struggle because of this.
Control of the government.
How much money do the Koch brothers pay into politics?
I've looked into it. You're never going to know. They move money around to hide it. They have many groups. They pump in loads of money but get a few other wealthy people to put in some money. Could be $1, could be $100,000, could be $1 million, we don't know. But this allows them to then say "we're not the only ones putting in."
So, if the said group spends $100 million on politics, the Koch brothers might be putting in most of that money, but no one knows.
Then they have different groups which give to different groups. So the money doesn't come from the Koch brothers, it comes from a group the Koch brothers give money to, so, they're claiming they didn't give this money to hide it.
So they can control the political system with so much money, and pretend they're not.

What's your point?
There are different types of taxes. This is a problem because on the internet they'll often like to show income tax, but refuse to show other taxes.
You see that payroll tax is much, much higher for the lowest quintile than income tax is.
