>>The announcement sparked outrage among activists groups, who say the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) is going after the city’s most vulnerable citizens to shore up its bottom line.<<

Yes, the most vulnerable. The people who are asked to pay for things...

[bravo whiskey]

well if they can’t shore up the bottom line, there will be no line and no bottom.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Sell your Obama phone and pay your water bill.

[SharpRightTurn]

It appears Detroit is in no danger of running low on gibmedat residents.

[RegulatorCountry]

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry when I see the free stuff brigade banging it’s head against the brick wall of cost, and it always does eventually.

[skinkinthegrass]

cisterns, buckets, water-cans & drums, are available...
let the Activists gather, fill, transport, disperse..then *itch.

[CARTOUCHE]

The water department can have the freeloaders draw their water from a well in the neighborhood. Works for millions elsewhere who actually live in REAL poverty.

[Antihero101607]

Just cry humanitarian crisis and bus some of our southern invaders into South Detroit. Water service will promptly be restored in the Amish Paradise known as Detroit.

[Menehune56]

Sounds like Detroit Water is going to shut off the deadbeats, I don’t see a problem. Carrying them for so long was what got them where they are today.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Detroit is a microcosm of what this country will be like if present path remains unchanged. Which is looking more likely, not less.

Like a “B” apocalypse movie we used to see at the drive in.

[PAR35]

Gotta use that Obamaphone to call and demand free water.

[cripplecreek]

Hyperbole. The city threatens to cut off water all the time and that's part of the problem. They never actually do cut of chronic non payers.



Michigan legislative action thread

[House Atreides]

These shut offs are only for freeloaders who aren’t paying their water bills. Sounds pretty damned reasonable to me.

[ExCTCitizen]

If you aren't going to pay your water bill, you want the UN to take over the water company? How about if you can't pay your property tax, should you call the UN for housing? Auto insurance?

Liberal mind at work....

[Dallas59]

There’s a river nearby. Take the bus, fill up your empty wine bottles and malt liquor cans and there you go.

[Chode]

but the hair hatted hooligans can pay for day weave and nails and drugs and booze and smokes but not water... feh

[lostboy61]

Why they not call the boy King in D.C. he spend that much on his airplane and golf every week.

[OldSmaj]

Detroit activists call for UN help as city shuts off water for thousands...

Good.

Maybe the stinking UN can use some of that billions of my damned tax money that was ripped off from me and every one else to pay for their water.

The low-life pieces of gibsmedat shit are getting it one way or another.

(Although I really don't think the UN will get involved with the gibsmedat bunch...as they have their hands full with a crap load of other gibsmedat trouble in the world.)

That we've paid for, too.

FUBO.

FUUN.

[Jim Robinson]

Just another democrat success story.

[nuconvert]

How dare you turn off the utilities to people who don’t pay their bills. lol
