Except, weirdly enough, those in Detroit city government
I've held off on writing about the Flint water disaster here thus far (although I've dealt with it a couple of times in my Detroit News column) because it seems we learn more every day about what happened and why. Sadly but predictably, Michigan media have treated it mainly as a political story, with the early narrative being something along the lines of "Republicans stick Flint with toxic water to save money."
That has prompted absurdities like Michael Moore (who grew up in Flint by the way) showing up and demanding that Republican Gov. Rick Snyder be arrested. For what crime, I'm not exactly sure, but legal niceties scarcely matter when self-righteous liberals think they’re winning an argument
It seems that those who test water on the local and state level should’ve shut this down, probably before the change was made. On every government level there are departments that are responsible for water safety. Why are they blaming the gov instead of the mayor? (rhetorical question)
Flint
Allllrighy then....so better get a second set of 'cuffs for Obama for his regional EPA pick Susan Hedman ?
(the fish water stinks from the head down)
Water systems are operated by trained and licensed Operators, whom are responsible for testing and correcting or publically warning about unsafe water issues.
Never been to a Flint Water Treatment Plant, but am suspicious that those responsible are part of the same democrat gangsters that make it sound more like Mogadishu.
Good article. I’ve been wanting a concise review of the problem.
Good article, thank you for posting it.
Thanks for the post and ping. Now at least tell people how many Rat players were in this mess.
The reality is that the idiot Dem Flint City council voted to leave the Detroit Water system and the idiot dem Detroit admin said basically well screw you. Everything else is just a blame game.
I call on the democrats who run Flint to be arrested.
