"NEWARK — A growing crisis over lead contamination in drinking water gripped Newark on Wednesday as tens of thousands of residents were told to drink only bottled water, the culmination of years of neglect that has pushed New Jersey’s largest city to the forefront of an environmental problem afflicting urban areas across the nation.

Urgent new warnings from federal environmental officials about contamination in drinking water from aging lead pipes spread anxiety and fear across much of Newark, but the municipal government’s makeshift efforts to set up distribution centers to hand out bottled water were hampered by confusion and frustration...."

And this is the New York Times admitting the years of neglect. Of course they don't mention Booker and Democratic rule.

Hmm.. Sounds familiar.. Flint...

Both are the direct result of graft and pet projects being allowed to overrule more pressing public safety issues. The same problem exists with regard to federal highway funding or, for that matter, the Green New Deal.

You do know when you point out the corruption in areas long controlled by Leftists, marred in decades of Democratic Party decay, you’ll be labeled a racist. They just know if the old white guys in Congress would just give them more money it will be fixed in another 40-50 years...lol

There's a poster here that will claim that while it's been democratic controlled for a century it's Republican policies that have done this.

Imagine that a Dem controlled city with issues.
