Flint Michigan wasn’t really an issue of pollution, as far as I understand.
This is what I understand of the case:
Lots of homes in Flint had lead pipes. Rather than remove the lead pipes, a sealant was put on them to make the water from them safe to drink. Perfectly good, clean drinking water from a nearby river was pumped into the city water system. But the lead pipes required “corrosion inhibitors” to keep the sealants from dissolving. Absent the inhibitors, the natural water dissolved lead already in people’s homes.
#13 Yeap and a whole lot of finger pointing, blame being thrown around.
And the result is going to be we the Citizens of the State again bail out another Crap Hole run into the dust bin of history by 40 years of rat Control.
