A Temporary Solution for Flint: Let them Eat Snow...Der..Duh..

[Wry Catcher]

Flint knew the water was polluted when they pulled out of detroit's water. The city council should be arrested and jailed for long long terms.

It was not the City Council's legislative decision to switch to river water. The Emergency Manager appointed by Snyder made that decision as a cost cutting measure.

When people stopped paying their water bills, there was no money for anything. This is what happens when you refuse to pay bills. There is degeneration.

What evidence do you have that people (and, yes, we know who the people are and what that means) stopped paying their bill, and do you now believe and have evidence the lead laced water is free (in fact, isn't it likely that not all of those users failed to pay their water bill and also suffered)?

Do you believe it is moral for a Manager to put people at risk of lead poisoning, or only people who can't afford to pay for water?

The Governor of Michigan is culpable, morally, civilly and (hopefully) criminally for allowing this to happen, and not firing the manager and rectifying the situation with alacrity.

they want to pin it on the governor

but in reality it was a planned move by the karnondi water authority

which is a local municipal corporation

It was a take over by the governor the way Republicans do. They call them "emergency managers". Are they even constitutional? Over riding the voters with "appointed" officials? And has it worked anywhere the GOP does it or is it simply another way the GOP squeezes money from the middle class and the poor?

Love they way these Republican governors are "powerless" when it comes to wrong doing.

Wrong...

Flint's water trouble began in 2013 when the city decided to stop buying treated Lake Huron water from the city of Detroit and get water from the Karegnondi Water Authority instead. Under the leadership of a state-appointed emergency manager who was brought in by Snyder to balance the city's deficit, the city decided in April 2014 to use the Flint River as its water source in order to save $5 million over less than two years until the new infrastructure connecting to KWA was finished.

But the savings will cost about a billon dollars now

how exactly am i wrong

when your post says the same thing

there was no "instead"

the plan as a final solution to tap lake huron via KWA

as an interim while the pipeline was to be built they tapped the flint river

Yep. So much for democracy:

Emergency Manager Background: Under Public Act 72 of 1990, the state is authorized to intervene in units of local government that experience financial emergencies.

I wonder, how does this comport with the spirit of Art. IV, Sec. 4 of COTUS and the intent of "We The People".

Snow: folks, it's made of water that was distilled into clouds and falls pure to the earth. You're welcome..

Actually, that's not true. There is nothing "pure" about it.

That being said, yes....freshly fallen snow can be a good source of fresh water in emergencies, and generally requires little more than a basic boiling to be considered potable.

Watch out where the Huskies go
and don't you eat that yellow snow
