Discussion for article #225965
No matter what the EPA investigation reveals, Kasich will insist that no matter what, the problem can only be solved by the Free Market, and Private Enterprise.
And Rob Portman (R-eeree) using the “needs more study” dodge is just disgusting.

Tainted Ohio Water Emergency
That’s one hell of a noun cluster. Which of these items is tainted? Ohio, water, or the emergency. I’m guessing it’s Ohio, for allowing itself to get screwed by polluters in the first place and then subsequently passing on the environmental costs to it’s taxpayers. In fact, Ohio’s more than tainted, it’s fucked over.

“The state, he [Kasich] said, will conduct a review of what happened, including taking a look at Toledo’s aging water system and continuing to figure out how to reduce pollution…”
“Continuing to figure out how to reduce pollution???” So your assertion is that you’ve been hard at work doing that all along?
And the product of all your efforts is what? Shifting blame to “Toledo’s aging water system”?

Well, we all know where the taint is located: midway between West Virginia and Indiana.
The Planet is reacting to our gross negligence. Time to wake up Toledo. Or is your coma too deep?

The EPA is still allowed to operate in Ohio?

“More research.” That’s Republican for “environmental problem caused by campaign financiers that’s so bad, even Limbaugh/Fox consumers think it’s real.”

Wonder what the mayor’s ‘before drinking the water’ photo looked like?
Here, I’ll do the investigation for them:
-
Climate change = warmer water
-
Fewer environmental regs = more run-off into lake
-
Warmer water + more run-off = more algae.
-
Republicans = willfully ignorant, willfully negligent dumbasses.
Done and done.
