How Bethlehem Reacted to Flint Lead Scare

As I told you yesterday, Allentown's reaction to a state report noting unsafe levels of lead in the cities with a defensive white paper that actually suggests that the root cause is people from the barrios, who do their shopping in lead-infested bodegas. Si. Contrast that with Bethlehem, which posted a proactive message on the city webpage, noting that it is constantly testing water quality. It invites any concerned water customer concerned about lead to request an analysis.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
