4. If Trump can realize big savings elsewhere, isn’t this a worthy exchange?
5. Does the federal government stand any responsibility to help Flint replace the infrastructure the federal government helped to destroy? The federal policy to facilitate sending jobs overseas did severely impact Flint’s tax base.

What would you suggest here?

The citizens of Flint need something to be done. What would be your suggestion to avoid the federal government having to help here?
The Michigan legislature needs to de-certify government unions.
