Isnât that supposed to read "Relentless Poisoningâ?

If only Congress would subpoena this fucker to release all of his fucking emails and that of his inner staff. Oh, thatâs right. They havenât even asked him to come speak to them under oath. Silly me. What was I thinking?
Eyeroll.
There are now three types of lawsuits against Snyder at the local, State and Federal level. Some relate to civil rights violations, while others are suing for liability and all that that entails in class-action lawsuits. Eventually, those emails will all be subpoenaed, if they havenât yet been destroyed. They need to go back to 2013 though. Thatâs when his administration started all this shit in Flint.
And Darnell Earley, the EFM for Flint, just quit his job as the new EFM for Detroit Public Schools two days agoâŚand heâs refusing to talk to anybodyâŚso says his lawyers.

Just another hidden tax you pay in this country if youâre poor or a minority. Along with red-lining, lack of access to healthcare and good education, excessive banking fees, racial profiling, and the list goes on. This appears to be criminally disgraceful. Godspeed FBI.

Fuck resignation and recall. Snyder should be fucking indicted. At some point this went from arguably âoopsâ (if it ever even was) to knowingly allowing the poisoning to continue unabated.

Iâve been saying that from the beginning. In fact, I consider it to be a major plank of the GOP/Teatroll agenda in every single red state that they control: creating such intolerable conditions for the poor and minorities and poor minorities that they hopefully leave to go to a blue state.

No. These emails were sent almost a year ago to one of Snyderâs top people â Harvey Hollins, Director of Urban Initiatives, who was named Snyderâs point person on the Flint water crisis in mid-December. These were not sent to low-level interns. Uh-uh. No way.

Itâs time for some DA to have the guts to charge these clowns. This isnât about an âaccidentâ or a natural disaster. This is a straightforward case of people making money-based decisions while continually suppressing the negative results. This is nothing less than a conspiracy, and when peopleâs health, up to and including deaths, are involved itâs not just a âwhoopsâ moment.
Charge the whole lot, and then pray somewhere they courts can find an adequately impartial jury.

Just so I understand: Gov Snyder has sold himself as running an efficient administration on the model of âbest business practices.â Then people are even potentially at risk of serious damage to health or death and high ranking officials choose to keep the CEO in the dark? Here Gov Snyder is reduced to the defense that I am not a felon because I am (1) stupid or (2) corrupt or (3) both.

There were at least 87 cases across Genesee County during a 17-month period, including nine deaths, but the public was never told about the increase when it was happening â even after an initial wave of more than 40 cases was known by early 2015.
Men grab their guns and storm government facilities over grazing fees. Men (and a few women) grab their guns and mow down innocents based on abstract interpretations of books over a thousand years old. I hope Governor Snyder and those in his administration thank their lucky stars they get to sleep safely in their homes tonight, despite the mounting number of graves and lives directly destroyed by their actions.

This whole âwhen did Snyder knowâ discussion is bullshit. As soon as Flint switched to river water the residents started complaining about the smell, taste and color. In some areas the water was literally the color of iced tea. Both of the Detroit papers reported how bad it was from the beginning. Would this have been tolerated in majority white areas? Of course not. If this had happened in Snyderâs hometown of Ann Arbor you know they would have been switched back to Detroit water the next day, no need to wait a year and half to test accumulated lead levels in children. Water as bad a Flintâs would have been seen as a image and financial disaster for Ann Arbor. U of M would have been a ghost town by the end of the semester. But Flint was poor and black and Snyder doesnât live there, so who gives a shit.
Someone still needs to investigate who got the contracts to switch the water to Flint River water. Before the switch it was estimated that it would take $7 to $61 million dollars to upgrade the Flintâs water treatment plant to use river water. How is going to save money until the new Lake Huron pipeline was completed? Who got the contracts to make the switch and why? Was it a just some cronies of Snyder?
