The EPA announced last month that the water in Jackson, Mississippi, is now safe to drink, though agency administrator Michael Regan admits that there is still a lot of work to be done.
November 16, 2022, 3:33 PMEPA Administrator Michael S. Regan, center, addresses a roundtable of Jackson-area businesspeople, community leaders, residents and educators, about the efforts underway to deliver a sustainable water system for residents, on Nov. 15, 2022, at Jackson State University, in Jackson, Miss.
GMA3: Joining us now from Jackson, Mississippi, is the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, Michael Regan. Thank you so much for being with us. I know you've made several trips down there to Jackson. I believe this is your fourth trip. What is the latest information you can share about what's happening there on the ground?
So we are optimistic about moving forward to secure some longer term stability for the drinking water here in Jackson. And, you know, she's extremely frustrated but very optimistic. And she gave me some really sage advice two trips ago, and that is ignore the politics on the ground and focus on solutions. And so that's why I convened the governor and the mayor and the entire Mississippi delegation to think about how do we chart a path forward. And that's what we've been doing.REGAN: You know, we have a lot of options that are on the table.
GMA3: I mentioned you've been traveling. You actually have legitimately been on a tour. You call it the 'Journey to Justice' tour going across the country. Tell us what the tour is and what you've learned and what the EPA is doing about getting some of that information from the people you've been speaking with.

Judge says Michael Flynn must testify in Ga. election probeA Florida judge on Tuesday said former national security adviser Michael Flynn must testify before a special grand jury in Atlanta that's looking into whether then-President Donald Trump and his allies illegally tried to influence the 2020 election in Georgia. Sarasota County Chief Judge Charles Roberts ordered Flynn to testify before the panel on Nov. 22.
