The Poisoning of Flint, MI.

[CrusaderFrank]

Michael Moore said....LOL

 

[Wry Catcher]

Since when is the state responsible for local drinking water?

When the governor is a Republican.

You mean when the Republican Governor overrules the Democratic process and appoints Emergency Managers.

Actually the charter for local rule (home rule) flows from the State Constitution, and thus depending on the constitution the State can suspend local rule depending on the rules of such suspension and the need.

Flint ran itself into the ground. The Governor appointed a Manager to fix it.

The Democratic process was not overruled, as people still had votes for their State officers and representatives.

Roger and Me ring a bell Marty?

For those who fall for ths lies of omission, herein is a summary:

Ex-journalist Michael Moore demands answers when General Motors suddenly closes the doors of all its auto plants in the Flint, Michigan, the city where he grew up. With over 30,000 people out of work, Flint is economically devastated, and Moore aims to track down General Motors CEO Roger Smith to make him answer for his actions. While on the search, Moore also chronicles the emotional effect the closings have had on his family and friends, while violent crimes begin to skyrocket in Flint.

To those jerks who make fun of this issue, point fingers at liberals and Democrats, the only thing proved by your attitude is you are each racist, bigots and fools. Deny it all you please, your words are evidence of the truth of this conclusion.

How many decades have they had to try and rectify the situation?

Non Sequitur ^^^, but in reply, how many years has Obama had to try to rectify the problems created by his predecessor.

Yes, CrusaderFrank thinks (pardon that expression)... CursaderFrank believes the issue is funny, one must wonder if he has a leaded brain.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Has Jon Stewart weighed in on this yet?

Colbert?

What are the Liberal Elite telling Progs to think and say about this?

The Right is trying to pin the blame on the EPA, of course,

ironically being an agency that wouldn't even exist if the Right had its way.

There will be plenty of blame to go around, and some of it will end up on the Governor's lap, and rightfully so.

But calling for his resignation and claiming he poisoned a bunch of children either through outright neglect or willful ignorance is partisan and ludicrous.

There will be an investigation, and more than likely the culprit will be a combination of bureaucratic red tape and overall lethargy.

And yet the buck stops at the desk of Scott. What he knew and when may very well have been redacted from the e-mails he will release. BUT when more than one person knows the details of a secret, it usually comes out.

I hope Michael Moore will lead in finding that person or the person's who know the truth. What a movie that would be.

Not at all. You are digging up a decades old movie about a decades old situation, and I replied.

and Obama's had 7 years now, and you still blame Boooooosh for everything, so at least you are consistent.

And if the truth turns out that the problem is the intricacies of the bureaucracy surrounding regulations at the State and Federal level? The layers and layers of checks and paperwork and approvals needed to get anything done that progressives and Statists love so well?

Oh wait...that IS the truth.

Simply stated, the decades old problem has been identified and yet remains a festering wound. Thus the problem remains one seeking a remedy. Penny wise and pound foolish while kicking the problem down the road is the conservative way.

Bush didn't create the problem, GM did. Bush created a more serious problem by sending our troops into harms way unprepared, telling the enemy bring it on which they did, and in the process put 4,500 of our troops in the ground.

That's the "truth" you want to see because you have a bone to pick with Republican Governors. The actual truth will take time to come out.

first fat ass michael moore, now this... there is no god.

You're comparing Michael Moore helping the people of his hometown of Flint to Gov. Snyder who poisoned the people of Flint?

i've had some time to think about it.... yes.

The problem seems to have started with people unable to pay their bills. The water was shut off. A court ruled that water could not be shut off for non payment. Without a penalty the majority stopped paying.

This is what happens to the infrastructure when it isn't supported.
