Massive sewer spill flowing into Potomac River upstream from Washington, DC

If only the libtards/riverwatchers/leftists would be successful in removing all boats from the water (except theirs, of course), the world would be a perfect poop-free place.  Except, of course, for that septic tank called Washington, DC (and every other major city in the world).  Get a clue water Nazis!  More "No Discharge Zones" aren't the answer.  Fix your left-tard cities and then preach to the rest of us.

Baltimore DPW [Department of Public Works] addresses wastewater treatment concerns at community meeting.

DPW Director Matthew Garbark: "Once those are up and running, we'll have even better quality product that we're actually treating." 

Is this an admission that they are not currently treating wastewater before releasing it into the environment?
