Today, Congressman John Moolenaar presented Tim's brother, Peter and sister-in-law, Shirley with nine medals for his service in Vietnam.
Moolenaar has pushed legislation through, including legislation to hold the Environmental Protection Agency accountable to notify families when there are elevated levels of lead in water, as well as initiatives to provide nutritious food for children in Flint, and safe water to the community.
"That's something we want to make sure we're doing everything we can to promote Michigan tourism, continue the outdoor heritage, bring the next generation along," says Rep. Moolenaar. "And this is a great way to see it first-hand."
"My understanding is that the EPA was aware as early as February of last year that corrosion controls that would have prevented lead from leaching from the pipes were not being implemented, that there were serious concerns about raised levels of lead, in fact, above the enforcement action level of the EPA," Moolenaar said. "EPA was aware of that and did nothing."
