A damn shame!


This is not a water crisis, it is a pipe crisis and that pipe is
almost 100 years old. Where were the people of Flint when they were
rolling in UAW dough?
The certainly were not spending money on replacing 60 year old lead
pipe. Maybe the lead from the pipes just made them stupid all their
lives. This did not happen in 2014, it was just discovered in 2014.
Granholm OKed the Genessee water project 4 years earlier and the Flint
water manager decided to save a penny a thousand gallons by not using
the sequestering agent that was in Detroit water (another city with a
lot of lead pipe.)
I wish people would actually read more about this.
