Where are you guys getting this "blame the Republicans" rant for the bad water in Flint?
The entire city council are Democrats.
It was a Democratic mayor of the city who brushed off complaints about the water from the residents.
Democrats are running the show there. They have been for years.
Look it up. It's true.
Because it's the Republican governor of Michigan's fault.
He circumvented local government by appointing unchecked "emergency managers" to take control of financial decisions of financially struggling cities. At the state’s direction, that emergency manager made the decision to switch from Detroit’s water system to contaminated Flint River water in theory to save $5m.
Snyder’s administration knew about the public health concerns yet it did nothing.
The Democrats you mention were powerless to do anything without the approval of these emergency managers.
What this shows us is that government is not a business, nor should it be run like one. And now every child in Flint has lead poisoning.
