NYPost: Flint residents awarded $626M

Not so fast... lawyers asking for over $200M for fees


$600M will be paid for by the tax payers from the state of Michigan

$20M will come from the city of Flint.

Were you under the impression that lawyers worked for free?

My wife tricked me into going to theater for Erin Brockovich movie by telling me Julia was topless. I will never forgive her for that.

Thankfully we no longer have cable, because when we did and were flipping channels and we ran across this movie, I would be forced to stop by my wife. I've done lots of yard work thanks to this movie...

Uh, excuse me. But there's a big tax on liquor. And the lottery is a tax, too.

If Flint had $20 million in pocket change, it would cease being Flint, Mi.
quote:

Money did come flowing in from the state and federal governments, even celebrities and organizations from across the country. But four years later, the Weaver administration says it don't know where it all went. "The state has the cash. They decided who to give the cash to. Not the city of Flint," said former Flint City Administrator Steve Branch.

Where's the money? Accounting for $389 million from Flint water crisis is hazy, just like the water.

How is it over? How does paying money remove the lead from the pipes? Typical liberal BS. Just throw money to make the problems disappear and so that they can fund the kickback schemes to their campaigns and family office staff salaries.

Should be paid by every living city counsel member and mayor for the last 50 years.

I thought the Judge set the fees in cases like these.

Whatever the final settlement, they deserve more. What happened in flint is fricking wrong on so many levels.

I would like to add it happened on Obama’s watch. His EPA didn’t fix it. It only got fixed once the orange baddie took over.
