"Michigan AG Bill Schuette is a Republican, and in 99.92 percent of circumstances it seems unlikely he’d do anything that steps on the floppy toes of Rick Snyder’s clown shoes. However, Schuette is on everyone’s list of Guys Who Really Want To Be Governor. So there’s the possibility that Schuette sees that the emperor is wounded and thinks this might be a really good time to throw that spear. And Snyder sees that Schuette is aiming at him, and he’s ...

57 don't forget to set your DVR and have your tissues handy:
Lifetime is developing a TV movie centered on the drinking water contamination incident that occurred in Flint, Michigan. The water issue, which began in April 2014 after the city changed its water source, is recognized as one of the country’s worst water-involved breaches.

The water crisis started with a broke city under emergency management trying to save money. It turned into a scandal that could sicken as many as 8,000 children and raised tough questions for Michigan's governor.

GALESBURG, Ill. (AP) — This railroad town promotes its ties to Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan and the poet Carl Sandburg. But Galesburg's long history also shows in a hidden way: Aging pipes have been leaking lead into the drinking water for decades.

If the crisis engulfing Flint, Michigan, had occurred in one tragic swoop, had the hard-bitten city been hit with a Superstorm Sandy or a Hurricane Katrina, the president of the United States would not have taken two years to come and personally inspect the damage. He would not have taken two years to hear directly from the victims about their needs, their losses.
But this was no act of nature wreaking mass destruction. Flint is a different kind of disaster – a totally avoidable, man-made catastrophe created by a state government hell-bent on imposing austerity at any cost.

Following the Flint water crisis hearings, Ranking Member Cummings said publicly that the Committee had not received all of the information they had requested from Gov. Rick Snyder. I reached out to Rep. Cummings to follow up on that and other issues related to Flint.
