Mayor Karen Weaver’s allies have hidden behind race to fend off criticism even though she is facing a black opponent in the mayoral election.

Tells me all I need to know.

[Parmy]

Democrats!!!!

Flint finds replacing lead pipes isn’t easy. Even when state promises to pay

[Buckeye McFrog]

Does not matter.

The media used the Flint water mess to take down Rick Snyder and pretty much all the other Republicans in Lansing.

It only sticks to you when there’s an “R” next to your name.

I hope enough people of Flint are paying attention, and refuse to vote that mayor back in. She’s an example of politicians who don’t want to solve the big problems. Instead, the mayor plans to keep her cronies going, collecting more public funds for a longer period than necessary.

That councilman who called a political opponent a House N**gr
needed to resign yesterday. I’m from Michigan, but not Flint.I would be ashamed to call low grade, ignorant trash like him, a City Leader. This is the ghetto-mentality kind of black person who thinks students getting high grades are ‘tryin’ to act white.’ John Conyers was also that way, and more many decades.

[AmericanCheeseFood]

Don’t worry, she’s a Democrat mayor..

Lead is okay now!

[Yo-Yo]

Is it still Rick Snyder’s fault?

[vetvetdoug]

Most of the upper echelon of the Flint politicians are from the race of professional victims. Continual race baiting and professional victimology is no way to lead and improve any city of the US.

I bet her water is 100% safe , D’oh

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Have Michael Moore drink a couple gallons of the water.

The ACLU documented the Flint Department of Environmental Quality engineers were falsifying lead tests.

The governor believed the water was safe because Flint officials were submitting false lead tests which told him the water was safe:

[Buckeye McFrog]

I did live on the outskirts of Flint.

Google “Woodrow Stanley”. He’s pretty typical of what you’re dealing with there.

[BEJ]

Collin Kapernick has taken a knee after drinking the water.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The governor believed the water was safe because Flint officials were submitting false lead tests which told him the water was safe:

And the media saw to it that this was Michigan's best kept secret. The truth has no chance when up against what most people believe.

[z3n]

Oh common now. Democrat bastions don’t have contract cronyism. pshhh

[Seruzawa]

The mayor and all involved in this corruption need to be prosecuted. They are endangering the entire population for $.

Here's another lead crisis that got little attention because they couldn't tag it to a Republican:

Lead Crisis in Newark Grows, as Bottled Water Distribution Is Bungled

[Buckeye McFrog]

Hell, there’s a lead crisis here in Pittsburgh.

My late parents had to buy filters and test their water monthly. But they were on the city run system (as opposed to the private company that serves some areas), so that would reflect poorly on Democrats. Particularly on Mayor Bippy McBikepath.
