I live 1.5 hours south of Flint. I have absolutely no words for this travesty going on in our state.

From what I can understand, the water isn't the problem. The lead is coming from pipes that were corroded by the water. So maybe they tested the water, it was ok, and they didn't see this issue coming up. But the city stayed quiet for a while once their tests showed there was a problem! That's totally worthy of criminal charges in my opinion. And some of the test results I've seen in articles are just completely out there...

I also live in MI, within an hour of Flint, and it is so disgusting. The city is still sending out bills for unusable water! I'm glad this is starting to get more attention nation-wide as it has been a big story here for a year. The governor should resign.

No one in Michigan is shocked that water from the Flint River is the root cause of the poisoning of citizens. Come on - the Flint River?!?!? It's enraging. They saved money by using the Flint River to serve a community that is mostly black and with many living in poverty. Would this have happened in Bloomfield Hills? Absolutely not.
