EPA Takes Stronger Action on School Water Quality

As the Senate held a hearing on the matter, the Environmental Protection Agency said it will focus more resources on small water systems to improve the enforcement of safe drinking water laws. The agency will pay special attention to ensure children are not exposed to toxic water supplies at school drinking fountains. (Dec. 8)

And let me guess....She wants the US Senate to write another 2000 pg bill to control more people...and all the while not fix a single thing but make it worse.

Shut up.......Damn you bitch when the government does something and you bitch when they do nothing. American kids need clean water numb nuts. So shut the hell up!

The school principals, the city/town mayors, the governors of these states, & the parents of these children; children being made to drink lead contaminated water, don't care enough to fix these problems. Bush&Dick & the Republicans certainly never cared. Their slogan was 'Let Them Drink Lead' has always been in place. So now it falls to Senator Boxer & EPA Silva&Giles to fix these unsafe drinking water systems across America. Another criminal act committed by Bush&Dick. 1million?/10million kids?

This is ridiculous. This is f**king ridiculous. The Government can't run anything right.

The United States is SUPPOSED to be a developed country. Developed countries are SUPPOSED to have clean drinking water.

The U.S. is turning into a third-world country. Raise the standards!!!
