And they only have 2,300 alarms to go. The d. O. E. Says they have given school staff and Safety Agents more training. Nobody was disciplined. Absolutely nothing took place. That is not an acceptance of responsibility. Reporter fonteyns attorney filed a lawsuit against the city. They are waiting for a trial date.

Reporter before the test results came back, dr. Skelly was fired.

He says he asked each and every patient for permission to visit their home and test their water. If they agreed to have their water tested, i tested it. If they didnt, i didnt test their water and didnt bother them.
