Flint, Michigan's Water Problems Are the Result of the Stupidity, Incompetance, and Neglect of Its Own City Council

"All the caterwauling is simply the Left’s standard narrative in matters of municipal mismanagement. The essential facts are undisputed. While waiting for a new, long-planned pipeline to Lake Huron to be completed, in 2014 Flint began using the Flint River—previously used for short periods as a backup—as the primary water source for city residents. Though the river water itself was not tainted, without proper treatment it was corrosive enough to leach lead and other heavy metals from Flint’s aging pipes, which caused residents to be exposed to high lead levels. Remarkably, this contamination went undetected for 18 months."
