Yep, their killing the poor. It's the easiest way to eliminate groups of people by poisoning the water. Shocking that they could get away with it for such a long length of time. But do residents of Flint pay water bills? Or was it free once they switched over?
@@deebest4202 it's not free by all means they went up 35% at the start of the killer lead water crisis . We was paying water bills every 3 months by city guide lines . Then they made the switch my water bill wasn't nothing but 30 to 40 dollars every 3 months . When the switch happen they made us pay monthly and my first bill was $978 💵 from 30 to 40 💵 every 3 months 🤔?
@@deebest4202 yes they drop all charges on every defender SMFH . The special prosecutor Todd Flood gave them plea deals so therefore the judge had to go off that . They got rid of him . So now they gotta start from scratch and on a time limit . The bro and Kym Worthy prosecutor from Detroit to lead the new team and she ain't no joke. So as far as the lawsuit which is a class all under the same 🌂 they in mediation right now that's what the judge want them to and come up with a $ and the class action lawyers for the civil part and they still have make sure they accept the number or not .
Has anyone been arrested yet? I’m sorry but I can think of 5 counts of criminal charges just by watching this video. The ones responsible must be found and prosecuted.
@kilahchris The corruption is that the government switched the water source from Detroit to the Flint River in order to maximize profits, the water was contaminated and caused the lead pipes to corrode. Watch the damn video. 1:03
I joined the Boise Chamber of Commerce to bring attention to what was exposed in Idaho. While there, I talked to a guy representing the SBA. He stated that he worked for HUD representing the houses that they had affected by this issue in Flint. He said the corruption in this issue went all the way up into the Federal Government. When watching stories on this issue, you never see anything about federal Governments roll in this. It just all stops on a State level.
Everyone keep this story alive. I don't live there, but come on... These are fellow Americans let down by their government. I thought Trump was going to g to make America great again.
Florida water tastes horrible and the hot water feels oily. All of our states need to check the water. So many are diagnosed with ADD & ADHD, depression, anxiety,etc. Could there be a connection? It’s worth checking!
Patricia Burke depression and anxiety are not caused by water depression is caused from the person having a identity crisis or very sad and anxiety is something you are born with
The tap water in Algoma, Wisconsin looks just like the water these people are dealing with in Flint, Michigan. It comes out of the faucet with a rusty color.
@@rockystelone21 Yes, you are correct. A while ago and recently I read the comprehensive report from NIH. What a mess! It is clear that the treatment plant was well under staffed, lacked materials, lacked proper maintenance, and in desperate need of parts and repairs. Not to mention a newer water sample before the plant would be able to operate efficiently. The head Engineer thought the switch was temporary for hydrant use possibly, so he said nothing. When he found out it was more permanent, he still said nothing to the City or the Manager. He is to blame for the poisoning of the water.
They are making a multi million dollar movie about this before the problem even gets fixed! What is wrong with this world? Everywhere you look you see Desperation
How can we aid the people of Flint, could cities send other people out there to help replace the old pipes, or send money to but new ones. This is an American problem, these people are American we have to cover our citizens if not then what country are we really. The day that we stop being in aid of our citizens and one another is the day we stop claiming to be American.
The science says it’s safe to drink. Saying you don’t trust the water is a different story all together. That being said I wouldn’t trust the water either
Seems like the actual issue is resolved but people have lost their trust of the government and remain very paranoid about it. I don't blame them either, but it is unreasonable for the government to provide bottled water when the water is now safe just to satisfy their fears.
All the individuals who are responsible for the water being contaminated and their families should be forced to drink that very water for a week and deal with the same health risks they put others through. That's the only way those type of people will ever know and the seriousness of the errors of their ways.
yes, we are still waiting for safe and clean water...we wait, sick, tired and every future here, is uncertain and for some, sadly, so bleak and dire. #GODSAVEFLINT in 2019*
This is criminal. Let's put emphasis on the pervasive corruption of the political class. They owe big to all these people. Kudos to this pediatrician who voice her concern and exposed the truth.

You didn't mention that we had invested 10s of millions of dollars for a new pipeline but it had 2 years left to completion and the water contract with Detroit water was coming to an end so instead of Detroit letting flint sign a new 2 year contract they said no sign up for 20 more years or they were going to shut the water off and they did blame Democrats for everything that happened in flint and contines to happen.
