The citizens of Flint, Michigan should ask for initiatives to end the poisoning in the city's water. This is somewhat of a template. I am sure no one expected to face this issue nearly 20 years later. This is a demonstration of how Grover Norquist hurts the country.
In recognition of the growing body of scientific information (click here)demonstrating that America’s children suffer more than adults from environmental health risks and safety risks, President William Jefferson Clinton issued Executive Order 13045 on April 21, 1997, directing each federal agency to make it a high priority to identify, assess, and address those risks. In issuing this order, the President also created the Task Force on Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks to Children, co-chaired by Donna E. Shalala, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and Carol M. Browner, Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Task Force was charged with recommending strategies for protecting children’s environmental health and safety.
This Strategy has been developed by an interagency work group of the President’s Task Force on Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks to Children. Workgroup representatives are listed on page five.
The goal of the workgroup was to develop a set of recommendations to eliminate childhood lead poisoning in the United States as a major public health problem by the year 2010. This report focuses primarily on expanding efforts to correct lead paint hazards (especially in low-income housing), a major source of lead exposure for children.
