    i have an undergraduate degree in biology and i have a masters in botany ... why does this crazy woman of the EPA have her job and I am unemployed ..I will take her job ...and do better than her by virtue of listening to people instead of pontificating and patronizing everyone.. she should step down... What does this woman do everyday? I am applying for job. Appoint me. I can do better with my hands tied behind my back.This woman is long overdue to retire and incompetent.

      Are you really that ignorant that you think whomever screams the loudest and acts most like a child wins the argument? You must be a Trump supporter. Facts don't matter to you. You just see this douche bag yelling and assume he's "giving it to those government employees" Lol so pathetic. Not one of his points proved correct. You can look at the public record dude. The EPA was consistently told to fuck off by the state despite them having the experts. This is the game the Republicans in congress play - they cut funding and degrade the EPA's authority, trying it's hands. Then they get to go on TV during public hearings and ask shit like "Well why do we even need an EPA if you don't have the authority to intervene during an emergency?" It's a disingenuous trick meant for people like you who have such a lack of intelligence that all you see is whats on the surface. You guys all fall for this act too - Look at his shaking hands, cracking voice, and his constants interruptions - does that look like someone who has the facts on their side? No. He has to be loud and disrespectful so it looks like he's on the peoples side. He won't let her respond because he knows he has nothing to retort with. Come on dude. It's so obvious. Please try and be at least mildly coherent.

    Chaffetz seems to enjoy posturing. There's plenty of blame to go around in this fiasco. Laying most of the blame on the EPA administrator is a stretch. The Flint plant operator and people at the state level in the MDEQ were closest to the problem and failed to respond quickly to the complaints of Flint residents. It did not help that Flint had an appointed emergency manager. It was too easy to dismiss the complaints of the residents of Flint who were mostly poor, black, and Democrats. They lacked voice in Lansing.

They ignored the problem and they knew about they were obligated to look at the pipes but not to replace them. That should be a crime. They have the word "protection" in their title but don't offer that at all.

    and the people of Flint had to drink poisoned water he should be in jail, and all his cronies too.
