At least this time the execs can't escape through their standard "i didn't know" (and if it were up to me i'd criminally charged any related city employee who hadn't filed a whistleblower complain about the water quality):

>Flint has had a total of four emergency managers: Ed Kurtz, Mike Brown, Darnell Earley and Gerald Ambrose. Both Earley and Ambrose are currently facing charges of criminal wrongdoing in relation to the city’s lead-in-water crisis, which occurred after the DEQ failed to require the city to treat Flint River water to make it less corrosive to lead.
>A March 13, 2014, order signed by former Emergency Manager Gerald Ambrose for a water main cut-in at the water plant cleared the way for the switch to the river, according to emails released previously by the state Treasury.
>Water quality complaints began to pour in almost immediately from city residents following the switch.
- bluedino 5y agoDid anyone expect the state to fix flint after fifty years of mismanagement?
- trhway 5y agothe ultimate power is with the state, the state grants the city charter, so the state (We the People) is ultimately responsible for any prolonged and known mismanagement. Whether the state, i.e. We the People, is capable of fixing the Flint i guess is the question of what kind of People constitute that state. So far it looks, to me an outsider, like the People there don't give much of a damn about Flint.
