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.



Oh, right...you posted *the* facts, all the facts, and nothing but the
facts. Right.


I posted the links to the actual documents from the Flint water
system, the city of Detroit water system, Genessee county water
authority and the water quality reports from the Flint river when they
did the switch. I suppose the government was lying. They are all
democrats.


Yeah, and today the Republicans issued an 800-page report on Behghazi,
with nothing but the facts.


There is not much intrigue and mystery here.
The water was not poison until it went through the lead distribution
pipes. The reason the pipe degraded the water was because it did not
have the anti corrosive chemical added that Detroit was using. The
water manager at the city of Flint made that decision.
The open question is, how bad was that water in Flint before Flint
took it over. NBC was just carrying a story tonight that this lead
problem is in a lot more places than Flint.
I remember that when I was in Maryland, WSSC was warning that you
should be letting your water run a minute or two before you used it
for cooking and drinking.
