Bernie "What took you so long??"

Debate Question re: Flint Water Crises

Here's another question I want Bernie to address.

Dumping Toxic Waste on the Powerless: Bernie’s Unsettling Journey from Sierra Blanca to Flint

http://bluenationreview.com/toxic-waste-dump-bernie-from-sierra-blanca-to-flint/

Why the sudden urgency for the monorities of Flint MI, when there was Z E R O concern for the minorities of Sierra Blance Tx, and Vt radioactive waste dumping.

This becomes a difficult nexus to trust the word & promises of Bernie Sanders on.

Toxic then, was business as usual between Vt, GW Bush & his billionaire profiteers. Toxic now, suddenly raises his concern.
This is a serious trust broken factor.

I would ask Sanders to explain the diffrrence between the two minority cities in question.
Thank you

And he'd like to receive as many of them on Tuesday as he possibly can.

Did he say why he's jumping in to save MI AA minorities from leaded water, when he rushed a bill through congress for GW Bush, to dump VT's radioactive waste on Latino minorities in Tx?

Did he say why this, and not that?
Just waiting for his answer.
Maybe someone will ask him in the next debate.
