Opinion: With Trump's toxic view of EPA expect sewage in your water
New Jersey Star-Ledger ^ | October 20, 2017 | By David Pringle

Posted on 10/20/2017 10:32:18 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

What do severe cuts to core environmental protections and New Jersey's middle class losing federal tax deductions for local property and state income taxes have in common?

What's the common thread between climate programs and Obamacare?

These key protections and programs are on the chopping block to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest one percent of Americans if the Trump administration and their allies in Congress have their way.

Experts with scientific certainty say damage from regular flooding and extreme weather like Harvey, Irma, Irene and Maria will occur with increasing severity and frequency due to human-caused climate change.

It's clear that Trump does not grasp what a beneficial role EPA plays not only on the safety and livelihood of New Jersey residents but also in supporting good jobs.

Budgets are about choices but some choices are tougher and worse than others.

Tax cuts for the wealthiest at the expense of public health and safety for the rest of us is unconscionable. Yet that will happen unless there is a chorus of outrage from citizens.

Cutting EPA more to pay polluters because programs assisting with health insurance weren't weakened enough is an abomination.

Congressional leaders like New Jersey's Rodney Frelinghuysen need to remember that illness and premature death aren't just bad for us, they're bad for business. It's past time they mend their ways, they're the last chance for all of us.

I believe my water will remain clean and potable.

David Pringle, however, can ESAD.

That’s why we have sewage treatment plants.

Raw waste isn’t simply dumped into our water.

Not even Trump advocates it and David Pringle should be ashamed of himself for insinuating the President wants New Jerseyans to become sick and die.

I suppose in New Jersey if they are not obliged by the federal govt to keep the water clean they will just drink bad water and pee on the streets.

In the rest of the country locals will probably continue to keep the water clean and the sewers working just as common sense.

Mr. Pringle,

Obama didn’t improve my water quality, but he did encourage the EPA to create the Gold King mine disaster, to gain control of a vast area of land to inhibit development.

Since my water comes from a well, and the sewage field on the property is my responsibility, I think I’ll be just fine.

I don’t drink “tap” water, anyway. With all the junk the EPA has dictated to be in the water, it’s already undrinkable.
