As the water crisis in Flint deepens, it is becoming apparent that the effects of the lead-infested water are not just a health hazard, but the situation has the potential of ruining many more lives outside of the poison issue. There is no denying that the water in Flint is undrinkable and that it is contaminated with lead and other substances, and it is clear that the government of Flint is responsible for the problem.

However, the city’s government continues to charge people for the poison water and then threatening to foreclose their home or take their children if they refuse to pay. Michigan law states that parents are neglectful if they do not have running water in their home, and if they chose not to pay for water they can’t drink anyway, then they could be guilty of child endangerment. Activists in Flint say that some residents have already received similar threats from the government if they refuse to pay their bills.
But then again a precedent has been set...Saddam Hussein used to charge the family of those he killed the cost of the bullets used in the execution.

No they're not, the city is ran by all blacks, what makes anyone feel they can be held accountable.

Justme, I agree with your quote. The thing that gets me is the part where Flint is trying to charge the citizens for the poisoned water and threatening to foreclose or take the children away from their parents if they don't pay for the poison.

Last year, a friend of mine took me on a drive in Flint and Detroit, and some of the areas were really shocking.

In the summer, grass and weeds were so high in places that, if a car halted at an intersection, people were being ambushed from the brush like a stagecoach in the Old West.

Flint got what they voted for. Libards need to get their heads out of their ass and stop voting based upon the color of the person or the person that promises free shit with no strings. Nothing will happen to the good Mayor or her all black staff in Flint. Drink up and keep voting them back into office.
