Poor guy. Stricter drinking water standards are going to be a painful public relations nightmare.Internal Trump administration emails, that the Union of Concerned Scientists obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, paint a picture of an administration bracing for the heightened standards, fearing the conflicting guidance's impact on other parts of the federal government.
In one of the emails obtained and first reported by Politico on Monday, an unnamed White House intergovernmental affairs official called the expected fallout from the stronger recommendations "extremely painful."
“The public, media and Congressional reaction to these new numbers is going to be huge,” the official wrote in a letter forwarded to the EPA. “The impact to EPA and DoD [the Department of Defense] is going to be extremely painful. We (DoD and EPA) cannot seem to get ATSDR to realize the potential public relations nightmare this is going to be.”
So wait, we can get e-mails from a regulatory agency about unpublished and unfinished (not published means not done) proposed guidelines and we still can't get the DOJ to cough up communications about the Hillary investigation? Hell, they are stonwalling Congress and the courts over it and people wonder why we think the Hillary investigation was a sham?
Also, people have been drinking out of wells and garden hoses for a long time, other than possibly developing the tech to get the trace amounts of hormones out of the water from female birth control pills and other sources so that we cut back on the pussification of men in society and a major contributing factor to lower testosterone levels in western men, pretty sure there isn't a lot new to know about drinking water other than some places have shitty water because they haven't spent dick on their water system in a long time.
