Top Texas Government Officials Covered Up Unsafe Radiation Levels In Texas Drinking Water -

An investigative report by a local Houston Texas news stations reveals numerous top-level Texas Government officials participated in a massive cover upof dangerous levels of radiation in Texas drinking water.

The report from KHOU 11 in Houston shed light on what government watchdogs are calling “a conspiracy of the highest order” in the aftermath of the release of several email communications between Top Texas Officials in the Governors office, the state legislation, and the state agency in charge of protecting the environment in Texas.

The emails that were ordered to be released by the state attorney general reveal radiation tests of public drinking water were falsified to prevent Federal violations that would have required the local water systems to be cleaned up.

Instead the Texas bureaucrats went along with the ploy to cover up the levels of radiation in water to protect their fascist corporate puppet masters and poisoned the public over the last 20 years causing an untold number of cancers and other illnesses.

Perhaps more shocking is the fact that they knew Texas wasn’t complying with Federal regulations and even gave them a stern warning in 2004 that basically stated:

“If you don’t comply, we probably aren’t going to step in and take you over because we only take over state radiation monitoring in very severe cases”.

Texas was then allowed to continue to falsify their radiation reports for another 4 years while the EPA turned a blind eye to the cover up until a random audit caught them red-handed manipulating the drinking water radiation results in 2008.

Classrooms vandalized by Girls ages 8 & 6 - $20K in damage, poured paint, glitter and sand around & released butterflies -

It’s a sad and unexpected ending to the school year for kindergarten students at Franklin Elementary School in Holdrege.

Because of vandalism to both kindergarten classrooms at Franklin during the weekend, kindergarten students will not be able to return to their classrooms for the last week of school.

Instead, Franklin kindergartners and their parents were informed by a recorded phone call from Franklin Elementary Principal Amber Porter late Sunday night that they will not have school this week.

“The damage was severe enough that we cannot have class in the classrooms,” Porter wrote in a brief email statement.

The district looked at all options but could not find the space or supplies to have class for the kindergarten students for this last week.

“If we could have figured out someplace, somewhere to put them, we would have,” Superintendent Cinde Wendell said. She said she regrets the inconvenience this has caused to parents now looking for day care.

According to Holdrege Police Department Officer Leland Rodewald, the incident was reported by parents who discovered the vandalism after their children came home Sunday evening covered in paint.

The police report by Officer James Nelson said the suspects are an 8-year-old girl and a 6-year-old girl.

The girls allegedly gained access to the two portable classrooms, located northwest of the main building, but police aren’t sure how.

They poured paint, glitter and sand around the two classrooms. They also wrote on the walls with markers and tore up and broke books and toys. In both classrooms, they released butterflies the kindergartners were planning to release during their graduation ceremony.

Damage is estimated at $20,000.

The girls were released to their parents, and the matter was referred to the Phelps County Attorney’s Office.

The kindergarten students will still report to the school Wednesday and Thursday afternoons for graduation ceremonies and field day activities.
