    I suppose the pertinent question to ask is what if Flint had voted another way?

    Would anything have been materially different? Or was Flint just a loser in the larger conversation of global economics and trade, as you, Bedell, have been hinting at in reference to the Trump phenomenon. Tough to have it both ways.

    No, I think there's something to that Julio - it's just 57's incessant drum beat that I object to.

    "get off my lawn"

    without that drum beat this would be ignored and brushed aside

    there is precidence. Rick Scott fleeced the taxpayers in Fla to pay his legal fees
    so ...


    Michigan Taxpayers Face Paying Millions In Legal Fees Over Flint Crisis
    Critics called the proposals a "kick in the teeth" to those who suffered from lead-tainted water.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b0b25c91801ecc
    .....

    I have to laugh at the hand wringing on the right over the emergence of Trump.
    This is just one more incidence of intolerant voting/thinking where Trump could have been stopped, but, Snyder blew all the dog whistles from unions to immigrants to abortion.

    GOP: Sure, we poisoned Flint. But why didn't somebody stop us!

    http://www.eclectablog.com/2016/03/a...s-hearing.html

    ...............

    Let’s go through some of these ridiculous government statements.

    Donald Trump has called for entirely eliminating the EPA and handing power over to the states. He said this, and I quote, “Environmental protection, we waste all of this money. We’re going to bring this back to the states. […]

    Another Republican candidate, Sen. Ted Cruz, agrees with Mr. Trump. He said this, and I quote, “I think states should press back using every tool they have available. […]

    Marco Rubio, now a former Republican candidate, has vowed to scale back the Clean Water Act. He said this: “Regulations in this country are out of control, especially the ‘Employment Prevention Agency’, the EPA.” […]

    Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa said this: “Let’s shut down the federal EPA and focus on those issues where, here in the state, the state knows best how to protect resources.” […]

    the article posted lays plenty of blame on the EPA.
    But the damage was already done.

    Please research the implementation of the Emergency Manager law
    I outlined, linked on the Scout board . 2010-11 ish

    You obviously have not read the reports coming from Michigan
    This has been an issue on the Governors doorstep for 18 months.
    People in Flint still don't have water.

    Not sure where your blind defense of (R) is at all viable.

    I am truly curious, do you ever read anything that there is the least possibility your preconceived notions are blown to **** ?

    Read, read

    Correct me if I am wrong, isn't everyone in that town run by BLACK Democrats? Last I knew of, the town, then the county is responsible for water, lastly the state and if a crisis the Federal government and we know how Obama handles things like that..he doesn't.

    So it goes back to the city council.

    So why is this an issue when no one in that town will do anything about it? I feel some hustling (white people have another name for it) is going on in this one.

    Apparently 57 is the only person who cares about Flint.
