The democrats have proven that their policies have no regard for the people despite what they say about being for the people.

Pretty easy to do when you know the vast majority of media/academia has your back...particularity when they have the ability to make truth irrelevant to low-information types.

The Flint river is no worse than where the water they get from Detroit comes from. The real problem is improper treatment stripped the Lead Oxide from the old service lines and allowed lead to leach out of the old pipes.

I grew up not for from there. In the late '70's, the whole back of a fishing license, in the smallest print possible, had a list of bodies of water we weren't supposed to eat fish from. Of course the Flint river was on the list. No person in their right mind would ever think of drinking water from that (literally) stinking rotten cesspool! The thought of it is revolting.

I couldn't wait to get out of that corrupt, incompetent, depressing hole.

Did Flint have a water treatment plant????

I built one in Colorado Springs and they tested the water everyday for everything

Seems like the locals are to blame for this

Feds are guilty until proven innocent. When do we get to start the Nuremberg trial against the Feds?

We need to treat Feds the way they treat us peasants. Star chambers, no due process, and jury intimidation. After going through the formalities, burn ‘em at the stake.

Officials should be held financially responsible or pay with prison time! Not simply resign!

Corroboration needed

You're quite right. Our plants are continually tested.

Water safety is easy chemistry.

That river should have had the hell tested out of it. And any treatment would include additional testing.

Someone lied along the way.

Hell, we had to submit monstrous reports to prove our supply for a subdivision was potable.

Switching from one source to another should entail the most diligent testing.

This story brought a HUD funding water/water treatment to southern border colonias back in 2004 so I poked around a bit.

Seems like there’s gold in water for the democrats. Not that much good comes from their expensive efforts.

You are thinking wrong. The locals are never wrong if they are part of the Progressive overlord class that runs the urban ghetto! You obviously need a stint in one of the FEMA attitude adjustment camps to correct your thinking.

This might make more sense.

You brought a story about HUD funding a water/water treatment plan to mind for southern border colonias back in 2004 so I poked around a bit...

Gettin her out of the way immediately so they can turn the attacks up on Snyder. How very bad it must be if the IRS never resigned anyone over their shennanigans and Holder stood in there despite Fast and furious.
