everyone needs and deserves ready access to safe drinking water, but in many areas that right is under threat.
It really doesn't matter if it is intentional, what matters is the effects on these communities.
He seems to acknowledge the problem, but yet he does not seem to want to put forth an amendment or his own piece of legislation to fix this problem, and I find that discouraging, to say the least.
McEachin and Grijalva are doing exactly what elected officials should do, by ensuring that communities closest to the problem have a seat at the table as we develop policy solutions.
