Flint Michigan ... do I have to say anything else.
You have a democratic mayor, a republican governor and the EPA.
It is hard to point the finger at anyone in particular but the
government has clearly failed them.

My question is, way back when Flint was rolling in Detroit money, long
before we heard of Michael Moore, why didn't they replace those lead
pipes? We knew lead pipe was bad when I was a kid. They also knew
about acid rain and the effect of low pH water on lead.
My water here, pretty much does not touch any kind of metal until it
hits the faucet.

They are doing everything in their power to lay the blame on the Republican governor.

APRIL 2014: In an effort to save money, Flint begins drawing its water from the Flint
River instead of relying on water from Detroit.

JANUARY 2015: ...Flint insists its water is safe.

FEB. 3: State officials pledge $2 million for Flint's troubled water system.

MARCH 19: Flint promises to spend $2.24 million on immediate improvements to its
water supply.

MARCH 27: Flint officials say the quality of its water has improved and that testing
finds the water meets all state and federal standards for safety.

SEPT. 24: A group of doctors led by Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha of Hurley Medical Center
urges Flint to stop using the Flint River for water after finding high levels of lead
in the blood of children....

Sounds like Flint brought on its own problems.

Flint seems to have problems in other areas also. Wonder if those are also the fault
of the Republican governor...or could it be the mayor?
