On Environment: Outraged over slow response to village's contaminated water

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon says New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his administration "ignored" an upstate village's problems with its contaminated water supply. The village's municipal water supply and private wells were contaminated by a toxic chemical known as PFOA. The contamination was uncovered in 2014, but a cleanup effort by the state wasn't started until early 2016. Nixon called the delay "egregious" and "shocking."
