For many years after it was know lead was not good, the unions had the
building code under control to require lead pipes. So, the hell with
Flint - they let the unions have their way with them, and now they are
damaged goods to me.

Like other recent bankrupt cities, Flint has been run by democrats,
corrupt by any measure for ages. Un funded long term liabilities and
retiree pensions and health insurance coverage. They needed to buy
fine arts for government offices and buildings. Smart people; whites
and blacks, moved out and tax revenue dried up. Firemen just let the
buildings burn.
