This was done because of the Republican willingness to let this happen. The children are the victims. Gov. Snyder (R) let this continue because Flint is Democratic. Even now the state is only offering: "has also offered more than $10 million in financial assistance to pay for a temporary switch into the Detroit system while the connection to Lake Huron is being prepared." Questions: 1. Why did the state even let this happen? 2. Why is the state only offering "financial aid" when it be paying for the switch - since the state failed Flint when it permitted the use of Flint River water in the first place? 3. Why did the citizens have to protest at all? Why wasn't the state proactively step in? 4. Why isn't the state providing emergency water supplies immediately? These are Republican "values" at work.
