The most annoying part of this is that Rick Snyder keeps saying that he promises to "fix it" but lead poisoning is not fixable.

But what good has it been doing for everybody but the auto industry?

Any gains that happen during a Republican government tend to go to business and nobody else.

Look, I know deregulation is poisoning people but industrial production is more profitable now.

LANSING -- In January of 2015, when state officials were telling worried Flint residents their water was safe to drink, they also were arranging for coolers of purified water in Flint's State Office Building so employees wouldn't have to drink from the taps, according to state government e-mails released Thursday by the liberal group Progress Michigan.

There's no way anyone except for MAYBE some Scooter Libby-esque lackey faces any repercussions from this.

I don't know about this. People in Michigan are pissed and the story has a ton of exposure. I wake up listening to NPR news summary type shows and there are multiple mentions of the crisis every day. Local businesses are conducting water drives and sending flatbed trucks of bottled water into the city. I have rarely seen this amount of attention on an issue like this and we shouldn't underestimate what that will translate to re: the fate of rick snyder.

I sincerely hope that the only harm that befalls Rick Snyder is being outcast politically, being forced to resign, a criminal investigation and maaaaybe a glass of flint tap water but thats it.
