Well, Well - Free Press, Which Endorsed Snyder 2x, Suddenly Having Lead-Related Buyer's Remorse
Suckers.
Governor Snyder: When are you going to turn your relentless, positive action toward assuaging the misery your administration has heaped upon the people of Flint?
Right now, the State of Michigan should be able to say that it has ensured the delivery of bottled water and water filters to every Flint resident whose drinking water has been contaminated by lead. Right now, the State of Michigan should be able to say it has taken the first steps to craft nutritional and educational interventions for lead-poisoned Flint kids. Right now, the State of Michigan should be able to say it is using funds made available by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to replace aging lead water service lines in Flint.
Instead, the governor is offering placid responses and slow-walking important remedies, while the investigation into how one of Michigan’s greatest man-made public health crises unfolded comes up with explanations in dribs and drabs.
EDIT
As evidence amassed this summer that something had gone terribly wrong in Flint, MDEQ insisted Flint's water was safe. Still, Snyder's chief of staff wrote an e-mail to the state health department expressing concern, the department reassured him. And then nothing. Data analyzed by a Flint pediatrician this fall showed that a growing percentage of Flint kids had elevated lead levels in their blood; Snyder's team disparaged the doctor's work. By the end of September, Snyder finally acknowledged that something seemed to be wrong with Flint's water, and that perhaps the switch to Flint River water had not been handled appropriately. But just last month, Snyder told the Free Press' editorial board and other media outlets that it was important to examine other causes of lead contamination in Flint, like paint and old faucets.
