I been reading a couple weeks now about the mess in Flint about the Flint River.. This is insane, I can't believe this shit isn't national news.. G.M. stopped using the water because it was rusting parts..contamination levels @ 13k ppb ... These dirty politicians are sending out overdue water bills for contaminated water o_O

Who's responsible for this shit? One of the things about this state I love is the cleaner air and water.

I wish we could blame Schuette. The most evil man in MI government

I bet no one sees a jail cell or lawsuit

go back and find the start of the downfall and it lands on the decades of mismanagement and poor accountability in Flint that lead to it being taken over by the government and the switching of water. It was a cost saving measure that someone in Lansing thought was a good idea because Flint couldnt get it right, so they made a decision.
I am not sticking up for Snyder, no drinking water anywhere is insane this day and age.

but i dont live down there, so this is just an outsiders pov

It only made national news recently,it's been going on a couple years and Lansing thought they could cover it up. There are also 10 people dead from Legionnaires that they think is also from the water besides the lead poisoning.

The outcome of this doesnt surprise me, few politicians just trying to save some money and it backfired terribly.
Now the federal government is going to end up paying for it.

the whos , whats, whys of it, should be discussed but ultimately the first priority should be fixing it , and making sure children, adults and seniors are tested for poisoning.
And that ample amount of fresh/bottled water is available to all families regardless of financial status.

Its going to be a long process and the community is going to have to really work hard together to make it well known and aware that all families should not be using the city water supply.

So many of Canadas first nation reserves also have water problems where they have no proper water supply, water supply all over north america has issues. With the privatization of water , lack of government care of its people and other issues we will for sure see more water problems in the future.

Scary as fuck.

Don't think I want any weed grown with flint water! Hopefully people in the area have been using something other than city water

instead of bottled water why not water filters and be done with it? free filters for life which belong to the home.

I think the new water source fucked up the infrastructure pretty well so the solution may be far messier and expensive. Bring in some federal investigators and see how this decision got made, then let's have accountability! A lot of kids now have to live with lead in their systems.
