It has a dem mayor and a dem city council. So yes it is run by dems.
Republican Emergency Managers took over the city and ran it when it made the water decision.

He said Michigan is run by GOP.
I said Flint is run by Dems.
Both are factual statements. Thanks

Read this sentence very carefully. Maybe more than once. I'm sure with some careful thought and introspection, you might be able to figure out what happened:

On March 25, 2013, the purchase of 16 million gallons per day from the KWA was approved by the Flint City Council.

this guy?
Darnell Early is a Democrat. he was the EM when they transitioned
also, there is this

quote:
The mayor’s approval of the plan and the subsequent near unanimous vote by City Council were in no way coerced, forced or demanded by the state, nor any emergency manager. Council’s affirmative vote was supported and signed as an Executive Order by then-Emergency Manager Edward Kurtz on March 29, 2013. A subsequent order Kurtz signed on June 26, 2013, speaks specifically to “… upgrading of the Flint Water Plant to ready it to treat water from the Flint River to serve as the primary drinking water source for approximately two years and then converting to KWA delivered lake water.”
this was a decision made by the DEM city council and mayor that was rubber-stamped by the EM at the time
i cannot find any confirmation of Kurtz's political affiliation
