EPA gag order worrisome

Sun., Feb. 12, 2017

A gag order on the EPA from the administration. What could possibly happen? First off, freedom of the press and free speech come to mind.

The Flint, Michigan, water crisis is under the EPA. Would you know about it without the press? Locally, the Silver Valley and lead, or Libby, Montana, and asbestos. Without oversight, it is the Wild West.

Now think of your grandkids. Don’t you really want to know healthy the water, air and land are?
