I feel sorry for the people of Flint who have to live with that every day.

Flint is not alone -- we've had so many water contamination stories in the past few years. Thanks to GOP policies.

I really feel bad for the folks in Flint.

We buy bottled water because there is oil in the water coming outta our faucets.
Our pets even drink bottled water.

but from what I read there are several other towns in Michigan that have higher concentrations of lead in the water than Flint.
