Flint, MI

Yep. So what is the argument that the EPA is to blame?
 
Conservatism is supposed to be all about individual responsibility and limited government. Flint's a disaster and it didn't happen because of the EPA. Chaffetz is a moron and Snyder is dead Gov walking. Why try and prop him up? Just cut your losses and move along. Government shut down, Garland blockade, Flint is the EPA's fault. Cap it off with Trump as the figurehead. Nice brand, GOP.
 
But the city's new police chief Tim Johnson says it's too suspicious that there was a break-in where important documents were kept, just as investigations began heating up and decision makers were beginning to be held accountable.

"It was definitely an inside job. The power cord (to the TV) wasn't even taken. The average drug user knows that you'd need the power cord to be able to pawn it," Johnson said.
"It was somebody that had knowledge of those documents that really wanted to keep them out of the right hands, out of the hands of someone who was going to tell the real story of what's going on with Flint water," he said.

Flint Mayor Karen Weaver said documents were strewn about the room, and it is impossible to know if any of them were taken.

Weaver wasn't so quick to allege it was an inside job, but did say the situation seemed odd and suspicious to her.

"Well sure (it's suspicious) when they go into a room where all the water files were and they take a TV, but not the cord to make it work, yes," she said.

Six More Officials Charged in Flint Water Crisis for Alleged Cover-Up

Six more government workers have been hit with criminal charges in connection with the Flint water crisis — including a state health official who allegedly "buried" a report that showed a spike in lead poisoning in children.

The charges filed by Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette bring to nine the number of current and former state officials who face possible jail time for their handling of the debacle.

"It's part arrogance, it's part viewing people in Flint as expendable," Schuette said when asked why the officials allegedly covered up the water problems.
 
Flint puts 8,000 people on notice for tax liens for unpaid water bills

Thousands of people in Flint are at risk of losing their homes to foreclosure if they don't pay up on their water bills. After recently putting out shut-off notices the city is now back to threatening tax liens on people's homes.

"I got scared, for probably the first time since this all started this actually scared me," said Melissa Mays, who is a mother and water activist who lives in Flint.
 
Meanwhile, let's add $40 MILLION to the federal budget so Trump can line his own pockets golfing at his private resort.
