Rachel, Rick Snyder, and Michigan. Maddow

brought attention to this, and it's about time! People are being/have been poisoned. Link to follow.

Lead leaches into 'very corrosive' Flint drinking water, researchers say

Here's one but it's out there, thankfully.

PS Lead exposure is an irreversible neurotoxin.

1. That report brought me to tears. Snyder's actions are criminal

and should be investigated by the Department of Justice.

2. What Rachel left out--

They tried to sell this water to the suburbs too. Commerce township to be specific. I don't know if it happened though. A lady I was talking to, very prominent real estate agent was telling me that Commerce was upset about the water rates and were looking to switch to Flint. She seemed damned surprise that I told her the water from the Flint River was poison. She has moved from Commerce to White Lake where everyone draws their water from wells.

4. I think there will be a lot of surprised people. nt

3. I have two close friends who did a lot of research on lead

poisoning in kids here in Jamaica.
In a just world Synder would have resigned already. This is shocking.
I hope Michael Moore has started the documentary.

5. I am just glad she brought the sunlight.

And you! Happy Holidays, malaise! xoxox

7. Yep she's been covering this since it broke

Happy Holidays sis

6. I saw recently he was standing in front of one of Trumps buildings holding a sign

that read- we are all Muslims.

8. Loved his Op Ed

as well. Love him.

10. I admire him

I worked in the GM building when he was chasing Roger Smith around the building for the movie Roger and Me. I didn't see it, but I heard about it. I really don't know how Roger Smith got his job at GM. He was just a little man, who seemed afraid of people in general. Or maybe it was just regular people he was afraid of

12. Michael doesn't come around here much, since his father died

But this just might be the issue that brings him back. He would certainly have the passion and outrage that is needed to fully expose what has happened.

15. Thanks for that

9. It's horrible that this is what our

state government has come to. But its what you get when you vote into office the likes of Rick Snyder...

[Siwsan]

11. Flint has. Even fighting so long and so hard to recover, economically

And really making great strides with re-energizing our down town, bringing in more schools like Michigan State and University of Michigan and some great restaurants and clubs. Now we have this new catastrophe hanging over our heads and it is life altering and debilitating for an entire generation. Also important to point out that Flint is both heavily Democratic and has a large 'minority' population. I seriously doubt that Rick Snyder and his ilk give a flying gawd damn about Flint and the devastation they have caused.

13. Great report by Rachel tonight. The American people need to know what has happened in Michigan.

Rick Snyder is absolutely reprehensible. He gives Rick Scott, Scott Walker, Sam Brownback, Bobby Jindal and Paul LePage a real run for their money for the title of worst governor in the country.

14. Republicans are simply unable to govern. They're epic fails as

governors, senators, and representatives. Their sole focus is shoveling public monies into their cronies pockets, as well as their own. The public good? Not e even on their list of priorities. How these clowns are elected to anything is baffling.
