Snyder is going to be charged…

Well…have been sitting here wallowing in self pity after just losing another house today and now I’m kicking myself in the butt for it….I feel somewhat ashamed when this is on the same day that my friend’s father died and I feel so bad for her….and I need to get off my ass and get back to work here…so, here goes….the news just came out a little while ago that there are going to be criminal charges against former governor Rick Snyder and some of his cronies for poisoning the water supply in Flint that led to lead poisoning and an outbreak of Legionairres disease that killed a bunch of people…and all that just because they just didn’t care and they thought Michigan should be run like a business by businessmen who do nothing but cut costs with no thought of the consequences to the people of a minority majority city. The really sick thing is they knew it was happening and kept it secret for months as the poison was spreading through the city…and they were warned that what they were going to do would be dangerous but, again, they didn’t care and would have kept doing it without the brave whistle blowing of a doctor who had seen the same thing in another state. I’m not sure what the charges are going to be but I hope there is at least one felony in there for all of them for the damage they have done to a generation of Flint’s residents…lead damage is more terrible for the young people and it can cause lifelong learning disabilities that Snyder didn’t care about…I hope he goes to jail….
