What kind of government allows people to poison other people?
How is this even possible?
Wisconsin Republicans are withholding $125m designated for cleanup of widespread PFAS contamination in drinking water and have said they will only release the funds in exchange for immunity for polluters.
The move is part of a broader effort by Republicans in the state to steal power from the Democratic governor, Tony Evers, the funding’s supporters say, alleging such “political games” are putting residents’ health at risk.
“People really feel like they’re being held hostage,” said Lee Donahue, mayor of Campbell, which is part of the La Crosse metropolitan area and has drinking water contaminated with astronomical levels of PFAS. “It’s ridiculous, and some would argue that it’s criminal, that they are withholding money from communities in dire need of clean drinking water.”
It’s obviously criminal.
All of these politicians should be in prison.
But… show me a politician that shouldn’t be in prison?
Matt Gaetz, I guess. Thomas Massie.
Maybe there are various state officials, I don’t know.
But obviously, the majority of politicians are criminals who belong in prison, because the US government is a criminal gang.
PFAS are a class of chemicals used across dozens of industries to make products water-, stain- and heat-resistant. They are called “forever chemicals” because they don’t naturally break down, and they persist in the environment and accumulate in humans’ and animals’ bodies. The compounds are linked to cancer, decreased immunity, thyroid problems, birth defects, kidney disease, liver problems and a range of other serious illnesses.
The Environmental Protection Agency this year established limits for several of the most common PFAS, including levels at four parts per trillion (ppt) for the most dangerous. PFAS are contaminating water for more than 350,000 Wisconsin public water system users, often at levels far exceeding the limits. Many more private wells have contaminated water. In Madison, the state capital, levels in water sources were found as high as 180,000ppt.
In Campbell, where more than 500 wells have tested positive for PFAS at levels up to thousands of times above federal limits, many suspect high rates of cancer and other serious ailments that have plagued the town’s residents stem from the dangerous chemicals.
In the face of the crisis, bipartisan budget legislation that created the $125m pot of money for cleanup was approved by the GOP-controlled legislature and signed by the governor in mid-2023. The funds are supposed to go to the Wisconsin department of natural resources.
Do Republican voters support this?
Are there people out in the streets demanding that corporations be allowed to poison random people with impunity?
If not, then I don’t think anyone could argue that this is not a tyranny.
The Wisconsin Joint Finance Committee refused to discuss funding to eliminate cancer-causing PFAs in our drinking water.
Democrats showed up. Republicans bailed. The WisGOP are playing games with our health and our lives. Learn more:https://t.co/lmBHKM6CsI pic.twitter.com/7dli8ADeYq
