An official says the state of Michigan has offered fresh bottled water at a state building in Flint for a year — although residents were told not to worry about their tap water until last fall.


We public servants aren't dumb enough to drink the water we provide to the public.

The Political Class. This is perfect example of why we need to get rid of it. Pure corruption and theft. Like the campaign jobs Cruz gave to people in return for favors.

NO MORE professional politicians.

All animals are equal.

But civil service pigs are so very much more equal.

So the State knew for a year that the water was unsafe and told no one?
The personal injury lawyers must be salivating over this.

Very sad — penny wise and million dollar foolish. Wonder if the water gurus reported back that anti-corrosion treatment of the water (I believe this means making it more alkaline) would cost thus and such per cubic yard, and bean counters told them no. The king can do no wrong.

Sounds like more Progressive truth spinning. Go to just about any city, county, state or federal office and you will see “water coolers” for the convenience of the enlightened ones. Because cost “is not” a limiting factor, most government offices will have water brought in. I would suspect that at many federal office with large union pull that individual bottled water is provided free of charge.

There’s a difference between use in the office and carrying it home. If the second usage was being supported, someone looks like they do have guilty knowledge.

And also we need to look at timing issues. If they weren’t doing it before the city water switch over, something looks funky.

Not to mention the criminal defense attorneys.

This is one heck of a double standard. Wonder if it is enough to cause even Democrats to revolt.
