state employees had clean water 8 months before everyone else in Flint

Oh and BTW


the state has been claiming the additive they have been using is fixing the old pipes



another lie
 
Deshtard calls for more government than cries an ocean when government inevitably fails.

You would think she would learn, but she is uneducable

"While the City of Flint states that corrective actions are not necessary, [the department] is in the process of providing a water cooler on each occupied floor, positioned near the water fountain, so you can choose which water to drink," the department's facilities team wrote on January 7, 2015.

But the Department of Environmental Quality, which was notified about the budget department's decision to buy bottled water (and noted that "certain departments" seemed concerned about the water quality notice) was still insisting that the contaminated water was perfectly safe to drink.

"It's not like an eminent [sic] threat to public health," a briefing the department sent to Gov. Rick Snyder on February 1, 2015, reads in part. The DEQ went on to suggest that city officials were exaggerating the threat so they could get more money out of the state for infrastructure improvements.

It would take eight more months for the state to admit that the water in Flint really was unsafe. The budget department might have had clean drinking water provided by the state, but ordinary people in Flint did not.





they knew the water was bad


Look at them blame the city for saying the water was OK a year before they HAD to admit what they did.


it was not the city government claiming the water was drinkable for residents

Anyone who looks at Flint from far away has to be horrified at all this. Down here in Florida we have major turf wars over our water quality. And I'm talking court cases. The water coming out of our spigots is some of the safest water in the country, but locals in Southwest Florida screamed bloody murder when a near overflowing Lake Okeechobee dumped a bunch of muddy fresh water into the Caloosahatchie River, sending it to brown the water in our west coast beaches.

What kind of city and state government would allow water to become dangerous to drink for its residents, in this modern day and age?
