    Erie County's local Government don't give a crap about anything other the union wants, special interests, salarys, benefits, pension & pension spiking, yearly longevity bonus's, retirememt bonsus's, yearly raises ever single year and giving jobs to friends & family. Why would they want to change anything ? Just buy the local media & keep feeding the proganda to the fools about how everything is so great & their's rebirth, it's called Brainwashing 101 , keep repeating the same thing over & over & over again and people will start to believe it and in reality things getting worst & worst and their evens a lack of public safety and below national standards levels thats available but WNY.

    Phoenix Water http://waterquality.waterfiltercompa...uality-report/ shows extreme high levels of Arsenic, trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids. Violations were found for Arsenic.

    Arizona water violations are common https://www.azcentral.com/story/news...ays/101169862/. More than one-third of Arizona’s population gets drinking water from a utility or company that violated federal drinking-water regulations, according to a report released Tuesday.

    The report by the Natural Resources Defense Council found that 2.4 million Arizonans — about 36 percent of the state's population — were served by a water system that violated at least one federal Safe Drinking Water Act rule. The report said that 3.2 percent of Arizona residents were served by water systems that reported such "health-based" violations — either failing to treat a parasite or allowing unsafe levels of chemicals.

    Arizona cracks top 10 for drinking water violations http://www.pinalcentral.com/casa_gra...91a912333.html Roughly 25 percent of U.S. consumers’ drinking water comes from untested or contaminated systems with reporting violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act in 2015.

    According to a report by the Natural Resources Defense Council published last week, Arizona is No. 9 among states with the most offenses based on population.

    The NRDC is an organization of activists, scientists, lawyers and policy advocates aiming to protect natural resources.

    Offenses included arsenic and nitrate contamination, among other issues, including what the release labeled “often-serious” failures to test or report the contamination levels.
    Let me articulate this for you:

    Many employees know their contracts sometimes better than the job they are being paid for. They know how to play the rules/loopholes to their advantage. Not all people do this but too many do.

    Well, of course, not a single word of this changes the point J7 made. The fact that some in Arizona have water that's not perfectly pure doesn’t make the Buffalo River clean. Nowhere did she maintain that the water in Arizona is pristine.

    Does Buffalo's drinking water come from the Buffalo River?

    Buffalo river drains south of the colonel ward pumping station in Lake Erie so while it’s not a direct source of water it mixes in with the rest of the lake water to provide a tasty mix of drinking water

    I watched some of the video but when people start talking about gentrification MEGO. IF I were the supposed “Gentry” the last place I would move is a place with poisoned water. I’d clean it up and then just have my friends in government condemn the property and sell it to me at a discount. The river is dirty after years of industrial pollution.
