Thank you for the excellent journalism. Somebody has to give ordinary people a voice.

Politicians have all been liars my whole life. No matter who wins, we lose. That used to be common sense. But now common sense ain’t so common. Stay up.

Hope this doc gets the national attention it deserves. I grew up in East Liverpool and now live in Chagrin Falls, OH. Our little town sponsors a documentary film festival every Oct. called Chagrin Documentary Film Festival -

Mary Ann Ponce started it. Please check it out- I think it would be worth your while 🤞

John, once again great work. I'm a few weeks behind, but it appears the Government Officials are on the "come on in the water's fine, " tour.

Senator John Hickenlooper did the same tour after the EPA released millions of gallons of heavy metals into the Animas River in Colorado.

I had never heard the term, "Devil's Milkshake," but apparently Blissett coined the term several years ago.

Keep up the good work and keep putting out the material. Things will just go back to normal otherwise. That is what happened here. The EPA paid out some money to the states and tribes down here, but during spring runoff the sediments in the river bottom still come up and turn the river yellow again out here.
