Okay, you have the money now. So stfu already. If Flint politicians blow it on dumb shite, the rest of America really doesn't care and we don't want to hear about it. You elected these Dims to be in charge, you deal with it.

The city of Flint is getting $77 million in funding through the state to pay for water infrastructure improvements.
The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality announced a $77.7 million loan to the city. Interest will be zero percent and 100 percent of the principal will be forgiven, effectively making it a grant.
Flint Department of Public Works Director Rob Bincsik said the funding is part of the $100 million promised to the city from the federal government years ago. The funding was passed through the DEQ's Drinking Water Revolving Fund, which is forwarding it to Flint.
Flint will use the money on the following projects:
-- Completion of a pipeline hooking up to a secondary water source.
-- Improvements to the Dort and Cedar Street Reservoir and Pump Station.
-- Construction of a new chemical feed building.
-- Replacement of the Northwest Transmission Main.
-- Various water main replacement work.
-- Water meter replacements.
-- Water quality monitoring panels.
Okay, you have the money now. So stfu already. If Flint politicians blow it on dumb shite, the rest of America really doesn't care and we don't want to hear about it. You elected these Dims to be in charge, you deal with it.

And after that, the remaining 70 million will be stolen.

"Money promised by the Federal government years ago"
Perfect example why Medicare for all would fail

Yes. And it'll be America's problem to hear about a municipal water issue... again...

Flint has been electing Democrat mayors for decades. Who's fault is it?

Who funds the department of environmental equality, the citizens?

They will be demanding another $100 million in 6 months

I still don’t get how this could have happened while Obama was our supreme leader.

Finally the damage Republicans inflicted upon Flint can be rectified!

Pretty sure Rick Snyder appointed everyone that fricked it up.

I'm pretty sure Flint was under state emergency management at the time. And Rick Snyder (R) was governor.

And none of them had anything to do with changing Flint's drinking water source to the Flint River.

I remember seeing that woman's story and laughing. She's got money for hair, nails, and God knows what other luxuries, but putting any money down on her water bill just isn't an option. The definition of "poor" in this country is laughable
