A good question - the EPA

From Don Surber:

How much prison time for Gina McCarthy?
Freedom Industries President Gary Southern will spend three years in prison and pay a $300,000 fine because his company spilled 10,000 gallons of an industrial alcohol into the Elk River in January 2014.

How much prison time for Gina McCarthy?

Her agency destroyed the Animas River with 350 times as many gallons of pollutants, arsenic and other toxins, turning the white waters of the Animas orange.

How much prison time for Gina McCarthy?

From Fox News:

Still reeling from a disaster it created at a Colorado gold mine, the EPA has so far avoided criticism for a similar toxic waste spill in Georgia. 

In Greensboro, EPA-funded contractors grading a toxic 19th-century cotton mill site struck a water main, sending the deadly sediment into a nearby creek. Though that accident took place five months ago, the hazard continues as heavy storms -- one hit the area Tuesday -- wash more soil into the creek. 

The sediment flows carry dangerous mercury, lead, arsenic and chromium downstream to the Oconee River -- home to many federally and state protected species -- and toward the tourist destination of Lake Oconee. 

Lead in the soil is 20,000 times higher than federal levels established for drinking water, said microbiologist Dave Lewis, who was a top-level scientist during 31 years at the Environmental Protection Agency

Again, how much prison time for Gina McCarthy?
