Sending support both physical and through positive energy.!!

yea, it's pretty bad there... all the politicians pointing fingers and doing nothing else...

Exactly.!!

fire the bastages all the way up the line
knew exactly what they were doing
been going for quite some time


see there are many companies and organizations donating bottle water
which is a wonderful gesture

but will not solve this problem

" well people should just move"

really?????????

And that's the crazy thing about it all...I mean here it is this country has a million and one ways to find a "terrorist" but didn't know that this was going on??? Come on man that's just sad

they don't find terrorists, they invent them... same with the water, they all knew what was going on...

I totally agree...

Flint's population is over 50 percent African American
over 40 percent of its inhabitants are at/below poverty level
11% have education beyond the high school level

Flint's water crisis isn't a failure of austerity. It's a failure of government.

So now one must ask themselves...Why would they know that the water isn't healthy and still let it continue to pumped into many homes?

It's not letting me click on your link

it's a picture of money going down the drain

Oh ok

The demographics of Flint, MI are irrelevant.
Either the people responsible for ensuring water quality did their jobs, or they didn't.

(CNN)Flint, Michigan, lies about 70 miles from the shores of the largest group of fresh water bodies in the world: the Great Lakes. Yet its residents can't get clean water from their taps.

Nearly two years ago, the state decided to save money by switching Flint's water supply from Lake Huron (which they were paying the city of Detroit for), to the Flint River, a notorious tributary that runs through town known to locals for its filth.

"We thought it was a joke," said Rhonda Kelso, a long-time Flint resident. "People my age and older, thought 'They're not going to do that.' "

The switch was made during a financial state of emergency for the ever-struggling industrial town. It was temporary while a new state-run supply line to Lake Huron was ready for connection. The project was estimated to take about two years.

Later it became publicly known that federal law had not been followed. A 2011 study on the Flint River found it would have to be treated with an anti-corrosive agent for it to be considered as a safe source for drinking water.

Adding that agent would have cost about $100 a day, and experts say 90% of the problems with Flint's water would have been avoided.

Lead poisoning is irreversible. Pediatricians such as Hanna-Attisha fear the Flint children who tested with elevated levels will suffer lifelong consequences.

"If you were to put something in a population to keep them down for generation and generations to come, it would be lead," Hanna-Attisha said. "It's a well-known, potent neurotoxin. There's tons of evidence on what lead does to a child, and it is one of the most damning things that you can do to a population. It drops your IQ, it affects your behavior, it's been linked to criminality, it has multigenerational impacts. There is no safe level of lead in a child.

you think this would have flown in Rochester or Bloomfield hills? you're out of your mind

now you think demograhics had nothing to do with this?
your opinion

was it simply a way to save money and they did not know ahead of time
the damage they were about to inflict.....hmmmmmm

Look who was in charge of Flint's city government at the time that Flint's water supply was switched to the Flint River.
