The Flint Water Crisis: An insight into Republicanism.

[sealybobo]

Detroit is awesome. Well if you knew it when. When I was hitting my high point in rock Detroit was hitting what they called the Renaissance. It was amazing. You have no idea.

Before or after the riots?

WTF is wrong with you? "Renaissance city" started in the 70s

No way! I left Detroit in the late 70s. It was all down hill from there fars I can remember.

I don't remember any renaissance. Refresh my memory. What great groups came out of Detroit in the 70s

 

[tinydancer]

Republicans have nothing to do with Detroit..

That may be a good thing if Detroit hope to retain over watch of clean water, food and other necessities of life.

Your post proves you're a dumbass

Welllllll....Deteroit isn't trying to save money by tapping into the Flint River....

But that could change, now that Snyder has put an EM in charge of Detroit!

Hey moron Detroit had the manger first. its been over now for more than a year where you been

That ol' Flint Manager is hanging in Detroit like a 50 lb bugger. Maybey not replacing the city government completely but he sure is wreaking havoc in the Detroit school system. He is STILL an EM!

Detroit teachers face off with EM Earley over legality of 'sick-outs' Monday

You have to be kidding me. I want to bazooka barf. Oh cripes man. This is bad.

What? So you really don't know? That's the law. That's how it works.

TREASURY - How a Financial Emergency Works

Directly from the Michigan governments website:

Step Nine: Within 7 days after confirmation of a financial emergency, the governing body of the local government must select one of the following:

Consent Agreement option.
Emergency Manager option.
Neutral Evaluation Process option.
Chapter 9 Bankruptcy option.

Except as otherwise provided in the Act, a local government may not utilize any of the foregoing options more than once. A local government that does not select one of the above options is required to proceed under the Neutral Evaluation Process option.
​

Now who is laughing moron?

Flint picked option 2. They did it. Welcome to reality stupid. How long will you be staying?

Oh, I WILL be around for a long time.... You still didn't produce a link or documentation showing that the local Flint government requested an EM. Now chew on this while I continue snickering:

Flint has been under emergency Management off and on since 2011.



Governor Snyder has changed EMs several times, apparently to negate the 18 month provision after which 2./3 of the local government can oust an EM



The Rachel Maddow show had a town meeting in Flint and nothing on that show indicated the Em was selected by the elected officials of Flint. I got a sense that they felt railroaded into having to accept an EM.





(4) Subject to section 9(6)(c) and (11), unless authorized by the governor, a local government shall not utilize 1 of the local options listed in subsection (1)(a) to (d) more than 1 time.



Nice try; but, like Paul Harvey says, here is the REST of the story: The Michigan Treasurer's ad hoc syllabus doesn't mention the following excerpt form the actual LAW. That being Act # 436 under Enrolled Senate Bill no. 865

Sec. 25. (1) A neutral evaluation process may be utilized as provided for in this act. The state treasurer may, in his or her own discretion, determine that the state monitor the neutral evaluation process initiated by a local government under this section and may identify 1 or more individuals who may attend and observe the neutral evaluation process. A local government shall initiate the neutral evaluation process by providing notice by certified mail of a request for neutral evaluation process to all interested parties.I f the local government does not provide notice under this subsection to all interested parties within 7 days after selecting the neutral evaluation process option, the treasurer may require the local government to go into receivership and proceed under section 9. ( not chapter 9 the bankruptcy option but Section 9(6)(c) of Act#436 = Emergency Management)
https://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2011-2012/publicact/pdf/2012-PA-0436.pdf

I have seen NO documentation showing the local government of Flint chose the EM option or any of the 4 options listed. Nor have I seen documentation outlining how the financial crisis was determined in the first place. If you have such evidence put up and I will acknowledge it. Until then I 'll keep laughing.

I have seen Snyder's correspondence in placing an EM over the all White city of Allen Park MI. It doesnt look like that city opted for an EM either. But they got one!

MLIVE...a local media outlet is a link I used in a previous post to shwo how Snyder and his gang lied and engaged in a cover up. Do you expect anyone with an ounce of objectivity to believe what is posted on a State of Michigan Department website?

Don't make me laugh any more than I already have....

Flint is bankrupt.... Detroit was bankrupt. Now they are coming back. Thanks to Snyder, the EFM and corporate investors. Certainly not any leftist nutjobs and crooked liberals

At what expense? So cheap you give us lead poison?

Oh, and now that he gave all the corporate tax breaks he says we're broke and has to raise our taxes.

One more thing. If corporations are so good at solving all of our problems why did Rick Snyder run to the federal government 4 100 billion dollars and not run to corporations to solve the problem in Flint?

hey diiot

The Flint River had been tapped on previous occasions BEFORE Snyder was governor and before EM was sent to usurp power from the city government but no crisis materialized...WHY NOT? Apparently the democrats treated the water for corrosion before THEY tapped the Flint River temporarily. One more thang...Can I get a witness?

Im going to have to leave this thread. If they dare suggest liberals and Democrats did this to flint, then you are talking to people so stupid and brainwashed.

This reminds me of how bush lied us into Iraq and they say Democrats voted for it. We remember being conned into that.

So I can't take a non Michigander stupid ******* right wingers blaming poor people in flint when the Republicans completely own this problem. Snyder could even be sued criminally if he knew and did nothing.

I'm in Michigan and a Detroiter. Where you from boy? The reason why Michigan was in a tail spin before the Republicans took over is partly because of too many idiots like you in this state

Grew up 6 & evergreen. Live on a lake now.

Unions made this state. Spineless ignorant greedy voters like you sent our good paying jobs to china and mexico

Remember Ford had record profits in 1999. My dad got record profit sharing. My kind afford you the luxury to be stupid

An old Jewish neighborhood back in the day now look at it. You people sent our jobs overseas and why do you support unlimited immigration into this country at the expense of American workers?

This doesn't make sense. You say we sent jobs overseas. Why, because we made too much?

But isn't the only thing wrong with the economy is that all those factory workers who lost their good paying jobs took a step backward?

That's why people aren't doing as well under Obama than they did under bush. Don't forget 700,000 jobs a month were leaving the country in Bush's last year. No shit those people aren't doing as well. Wasn't that the gop's goal? To lower wages?

Look talking points boy. 700,000 jobs a month is not possible. that happen in only one month. I'm not defending Bush he spent way too much money. the crash certainly wasnt Bush's fault

You are one of the true truth mongers out there. I know we come at life from very far different angles. I'm out there and cheering you on from this conservative point of you; Because you care.

Glad to know you.. I am about to go ballistic on what we call Bi Pole III. So I won't be in much for a bit. When I hit the ground running up and coming I'll try to touch base.

But bless your soul. You care. Good. Good. Nice to have met you.

Muggers don't vote. But I suppose if they did they would vote democratic. Seeing as how the GOP offers the poor and middle class nothing but lead poisoning.

Are you talking about Early?

Geeze Louise

In the past it wasn't so much a problem with Republicans as it has been with the far right wing conservatives who overly rely on the free market and believe that any government is bad for society. This type of Republicanism did not exist under Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, and even Reagan to a certain extent. This really has developed slowly since Reagan as the far right conservatives have completely taken over the party.

I beg to differ sir. You had Granholm. A Canuck liberal. How has that worked out for you?

That's just the blame game. How can she stop bush sending all our great paying manufacturing jobs overseas because we make too much. That's OK. Then we all make too much. Happy now?

You defend Granholm?

Do you blame granholm?

One of the worst governors Michigan has ever had. She doesn't even live here anymore

I still don't know how you guys kept electing that crazy canuck.
