Took long enough to get this report out.

But this was widely known from the start of the Flint epidemic. Local and state officials clearly were incompetent...but federal officials were just as incompetent.

This was as total a failure of our bureaucracy as one can imagine.
“The Flint water crisis demonstrates that public health is not protected when E.P.A. regional staff — with multiple warning signs — do not use” the agency’s authority under federal law, the report said.
The problem was...this failure was systemic and complete even under Obama.

The reality is that the Federal system is unlikely to be fixed under Trump either.
