Flint, Mich

House rules state only the majority gets to call witness'. Also not called were the Emergency Managers .
Listened to Elijah Cummings this morning talking about keeping the pressure on via PR to have governor and the managers testify

Have no idea who they did call. Perhaps the guy that operates the valves.
 
Not one pipe has been replaced nor has the Michigan Legislature sanctioned one nickel to repair the poisoned water system
 
they have asked that people stop sending bottled water. Would rather have people's energy spent on passing on the news to the uninterested.

Remember this is the City of Flint's fault. They had to switch sources of water, and weren't ready, and some higher ups in the Water Treatment were concerned.

This is why we need to stop bailing out big businesses and giving aid to foreign countries who don't really need it, and instead bail out our own people with new and better infrastructure.
 
“Since we’re in charge, we can hardly ignore the people of Flint,” he wrote to communications officials in the governor’s office, the DEQ, and Treasury Department. “After all, if GM refuses to use the water in their plant and our own agencies are warning people not to drink it…we look pretty stupid hiding behind some financial statement.”

Governor Snyder was elected in the TBag wave of 2010. Promising to erdicate the state of labor unions and reel in financial aste.
In other words, form state policies more resembling a for profit business.

Should government be run like a for profit business ?
 
The Mayor went around the Governor (who wanted to do more studies-run out the clock) by using the method used in Lansing, Mich.

They began changing out the pipes yesterday. Don't know when it expected to be finished.
Read somewhere the method they used to target the worst cases to create an order. If I find it I'll pass it on

Well what do you do when the city is broke and no one will lend them money anymore? You raise taxes. Then the rich people leave. Then you raise taxes more to compensate. Then the middle class leaves. Then your Detroit with not enough productive citizens to tax to pay for the poor people.
 
Do you know how the once thriving city of Flint went broke ?

The demise of Flint was immortalized in the 1988 documentary Roger and Me. Worth a watch
