US EPA Inspector General Office (click here)
The US EPA Secretary is not maintaining records. His goal is to close the agency by the elections of 2020.
It is amazing to realize $1.5 trillion additional debt is going to be amassed in ten years due to this President. Then to realize their goals are to shut down the federal government by 2020 needs an investigation all it's own,
The federal legislators from Michigan are absolutely correct in asking where is the US EPA Inspector General's report regarding the Flint Water Crisis? If the Secretary has any say in the matter, there is no report and there won't be a report.
I believe the US EPA Inspector General answers to a different authority, but, then the people of Flint are up against a President that prides himself on ending these agencies as well.
These questions need to be asked, but, who is going to answer them exactly?

Flint, MI -- The city's congressional delegation (click here) wants to know when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's inspector general plans to complete a Flint water crisis investigation that started more than two years ago and when it will be released to the public.
U.S. Sens. Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters and U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Flint Twp., made the request for information in a letter Tuesday, March 6, to Inspector General Arthur Elkins.
The Office of Inspector General for EPA said in January 2016 that it would begin an investigation into the causes of the water crisis and the agency's role in allowing it to unfold, but a full report has not been released to date.
In October 2016, the OIG issued a finding that criticized EPA's Region 5 office, saying it had the authority and sufficient information to issue an emergency order about the public health crisis in Flint seven months earlier than it did....
The NRA has no basis for a lawsuit against the Florida legislature.
In "District of Columbia v. Heller" the Supreme Court specifically stated guns rights are not absolute. The Court stated handguns were for self-defense, but, there is no right that ensures automatic or semi-automatic weapons are considered defensive weapons.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA v. HELLER (No. 07-290) (click here)
478 F. 3d 370, affirmed.
The NRA needs a new director that is not radicalized. He has no conscience and certainly no morality.
I can think of many billionaire CEOs that should have been locked up in 2008 and that never happened either. There is that myth about how being fined is hitting them where their values exist; that is nonsense.
Jailing these people are the best medicine for them and for us! The fines can be part of this too, but, fines should never be a substitute for immoral business leaders.

New York - Martin Shkreli, (click here) the smirking “Pharma Bro” vilified for jacking up the price of a lifesaving drug, was sentenced Friday to seven years in prison for defrauding investors in two failed hedge funds.
The self-promoting pharmaceutical executive notorious for trolling critics online was convicted in a securities fraud case last year unconnected to the price increase dispute.
Shkreli, his cocky persona nowhere to be found, cried as he told U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto he made many mistakes and apologized to investors.
“I want the people who came here today to support me to understand one thing, the only person to blame for me being here today is me,” he said. “I took down Martin Shkreli.”
He said that he hopes to make amends and learn from his mistakes and apologized to his investors.
“I am terribly sorry I lost your trust,” he said. “You deserve far better.”...
