What the bumbling numbnuts should do is own up to why. With all the money for “clean water” being funneled through his system of crooks, why is there ANY polluted water ANYWHERE in this country?

On news they said that the mayor and also the EPA have known about it for a long time. Trying to make it a racist republican governor fault during election.

I work at a public institution in the State of Michigan that has it’s own water supply. We are REQUIRED by the State DEQ to send in water samples every MONTH.

I believe every city is also.

WTF has this taken two years to make public?

Even GM had to quit using the water some time ago because it was rusting parts. I guess everyone’s priority is spending money on illegals and refugees instead of making our citizen’s water safe.

The rule is to kick the blame up the chain until you get to a Republican. If there’s no Republican blame it on climate change.

In this case it does, and it should. Under cost-cutting orders from the (republican) State of Michigan (who controls Flint city government) Flint stopped buying good water from Detroit and started pumping contaminated swill.

People complained, and the (republican) state leaders told them to STFU. It wasn’t until children started showing signs of brain damage that the (republican) state leaders thought their might be a problem. Too late - the corosive water destroyed the infrastructure.

If this were some rancher’s cattle in Oregon getting poisoned by federal water this place would be losing its collective mind. Black babies get poisoned, and, well...
