the 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.
