The county spent/spends several thousand dollars on 7 Mindsets which is utterly useless, continues to spend thousands for Ombudsman, which is also ineffective and useless, yet can’t find the funds to purchase relatively inexpensive water filters? From someone who has spent over three decades in Walker County schools, it’s extremely frustrating to see once effective schools denigrate into a system handicapped by poor leadership and inaction.

Lead and chlorine can be filtered out of drinking water as well as chlorine just as the writer reveals. Expensive? More taxes for real stuff vs. padding the pockets of administrators? Check out where the tax money goes for public schools... is the lions share going for education of children? safety? or for the admins, top echelons, out of control pensions? could be interesting. may be dangerous to even talk about it. Seems accountability is lacking, secrecy/lack of transparency for some reason, smoke and mirrors responses.

UV vs Chlorine ... why not UV instead of Chlorine. The savings or cost avoidance alone my help pay for filters which all together may have a short ROI/get well time frame?

This thread is important, more important than most may realize. and here is another reason/fact that helps support the expose by Elliot. Note the chlorine effects, the gov't response to new info, and guess what has or is being done about it? https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/clean-water-technology/

Along with the lead... is there any valid reason chlorination of the water supply should be done? If you try to oppose/stop this water addition be expecting immediate intense opposition from seemingly nowhere... sinister at best, diabolical at worst. tooth decay prevention... bah lony!

Inexplicable! what on earth. why would they do this? there are so many attacks on our children... lead in water is but one but obviously a long standing and ongoing one. Is Raines and crew on the woke, leftist, globalist agenda band wagon? de-pop is one of their goals if I understand them correctly.
