Popular Thug Drink posted:flint's EM wanted to switch to a different water authority so they could stop paying detroit for water, and save money. technically this was the Flint city council they voted to make to form a new water authority and switch over before Snyder was even elected the EM made the swap over about a year earlier than was originally planned and before the rest of the water infrastructure was finished

Abilifier posted:This is all being done by the same emergency manager who poisoned Flint's drinking water. Can nothing be done about him? Can someone actually make a career out of killing children and get away with it? Technically he has the power over the district finances. He isn't in charge of building operations, at least directly.

Party Plane Jones posted:At what point do you not declare the whole town a Superfund site ala Centralia and start trucking people out? Centralia isn't a superfund site and Flint is approx 100x the population of Centralia at its peak, so probably never.

axeil posted:Has a sitting governor ever been arrested before? Huey Long is the closest I can think of but I don't think he ever got arrested, did he? There was Blago. Spitzer came close, though he resigned and the AG never pressed charges after his prostitution scandal. There's probably enough chum in the water with the EPA and MDEQ completely loving up that it'll obscure whatever Snyder's actual role was.

It was an inside job because someone didn't take a power cord? Really?
