The EPA is poised to propose a long-term presence on the ground in Jackson, Mississippi, to help fix the decades-long problems with its drinking water, a source says

EPA Administrator Michael Regan is visiting Jackson Tuesday on the heels of ongoing negotiations with city and state officials that, according to the source, are aimed at creating a legal agreement for ongoing federal involvement in running the water system of the predominantly African American city. Regan’s trip will include a public forum alongside city officials on Tuesday afternoon. It is the administrator’s fourth trip to Jackson.

The crisis was fueled in part by heavy rains that flooded the Pearl River and affected pumps at the main water treatment facility. The flooding exacerbated longtime problems at Jackson’s O.B. Curtis Water Treatment Plant. The EPA opened a federal civil rights investigation over the crisis affecting a city that is 83% African American.

Wait didn't Biden pass a bill that was and is suppose to fix that? mmmm wonder what happened? ok now back to your narrative and misinformation story.

States like Mississippi refuse to maintain their own infrastructure, wait for the feds to come in and pay for it then complain about paying the taxes that finance it. They are leeches off states that do contribute to their own upkeep.

What. About. Flint?
