$600m from the state of Michigan, so tax payer money? So the people are paying for their own settlement?
My guess is this shows up as an extra line item in the utility bill, like the San Bruno pipeline explosion a few years go.
I don't have a solution but isn't this kind of crazy?
- maccolgan 5y agoIt'll have to come out of somewhere, if it wasn't the government maybe some insurance company would pay, but unlike the Fed they can't print money either, so premiums will go up regardless, everyone pays in any case. Flint, MI is functionally bankrupt anyway so I don't think they'd have been able to charge higher premiums anyway.
