I was wondering which right-wing dumbass would post that first.
Congrats...you won.


I was curious what this had to do with the Flint water district not
treating the water with the chemical cocktail Detroit used.


Oh, just the fact that the Republicans in Michigan have time to
interfere with what happens between adults in the bedroom but not the
time to properly fix the Flint crisis in a timely manner.


I have posted the actual facts of what happened in Flint a number of
times and blaming it on the state government is simply political
posturing. It was the city of Flint and Genesee county that decided to
build a new pipe line, It was the City of Detroit who decided to
terminate the water contract in 2014 in retaliation for that action.
It was the City of Flint who decided not to match the chemical payload
in their water to match what Detroit was sending them. That was really
the only thing that changed. The lead came from pipes that had been in
the ground for almost a century. It was nothing the state did.
If there was really a crime, it is all of those northern cities who
never ripped out that pipe ... and Washington DC is one of them.
Bridgeport is another.
