The Crisis in Flint Isn’t Over. It’s Everywhere.

Vice News is reporting Gov. Snyder knew about the problem and tried to cover it up.

Wasn’t that a story like 5 years ago?

How many millions of dollars have we spent on this trying to save a few thousand dollars?

Did I miss the traffic jam around the Capital when Governor Snyder’s appointees were lying about lead levels in Flint’s drinking water?

Well, in all fairness, there might not be a Jobbie Nooner this year. Let that sink in, GRR.

The prosecutors are complaining, however, in this case the law and the Michigan Supreme Court ruling about it seem straight forward.

It is expected that the prosecutors will move forward under the correct process to bring indictments.

The whole thing sucks

by **GRR Spartan** 2022-10-05, 22:10

Early in my career I worked for a large water treatment company. Customers were industrial refineries/manufacturing plants, hospital and municipal markets.

Anyone with basic knowledge knows water quality and characteristics are dependent on the source and anytime a wholesale switch happens like switching from a water system using Lake Huron water to Flint River the water differences are huge. Just running 15-30-45-60-90 day corrosion tests using pre-weighted metal tags placed in a diversion pipe would have show what was going to happen.

Instead it happened to save money so the city with state approval poisoned the water source for a city of over 75,000. But what the hell most are poor, minority with no money to move out.

Not even to save money, it was used as the justification to build a new pipeline from Lake Huron to Flint with Sydnor's buddies getting the contracts to build it.
