[DrLove]

You just can't make shit like this up my friends!

Gov. Rick Snyder has appointed a top state official criminally charged in the Flint water crisis investigation to head a new council tasked with improving Michigan’s response to emerging public health threats.

Dr. Eden Wells is Michgan’s chief medical executive.

Wells will be in court tomorrow for a hearing on charges of obstruction of justice and lying to an officer in connection to the Flint water crisis. Prosecutors say an additional charge of involuntary manslaughter will also likely be added.

Wells allegedly interfered with efforts by independent researchers studying a deadly Legionnaires' disease outbreak in Genesee County.

Wells is one of 15 current and former government officials charged criminally in the Flint water crisis. A spokeswoman for Michigan's attorney general declined to comment on Wells’ appointment, citing the charges pending against her.

A governor’s spokeswoman defends the choice of Wells to head the panel, saying, “Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.”​

Nothing's gonna change in Third World Hellholes like Detroit & Flint, till they stop supporting Democrats. It's what Einstein said about insanity... Doing the same thing over & over and expecting different results, is the definition of insanity. The Democrats have completely destroyed places like Detroit and Flint. No one should think they're gonna be the ones to fix things. It just isn't possible.

You do realize he is the one bringing those culpable to justice for the crisis, right? Nevermind, you wouldn't care anyway.
