Well…here we go again…the repubs here in Michigan are abusing their power and rigging the system so Flint can’t make sure the state lives up to it’s responsibility to fix the damage done there by the emergency manager and the Snyder administration. As a little backstory, I’m sure you know that cost savings measures put in place by the Snyder administration led to the poisoning of Flint’s water supply and millions of dollars of damage to the water infrastructure there. To ensure that there would actually be a fix in place and not just talk, which is all we have ever gotten from Snyder, the city of Flint filed a notice of a lawsuit that would do just that…that would force the state to fix the damage that was done…but, as always with the repubs here in Michigan, they are rigging the system so that Flint can’t sue by changing the rules that requires that any suit has to be approved by a Snyder appointed board…yeah, that’s right, any suit that would hold Snyder responsible has to go through a new Snyder appointed board…now, how likely is it that any suit would be approved by Snyder’s cronies? It’s just another example of how the repubs here are abusing their power to protect their asses and not the people….we need to vote these guys out of office this fall and start making sure that Michigan has a functioning democracy again…not a third world government run by cronyism and lies…geez…
