Is that right? So filing for bankruptcy is basically a meaningless event, in yer opinion.
When you are having an EM dismantle your city's budget because you can't afford it it isn't that much different than a structured dismantling of your city's budget because you can't afford it. In fact, Earley specifically threatened going to bankruptcy just to force the city of concede his budget cutting demands.
>>I'm glad you admit that Earley, a DEMOCRAT, is a piece of garbage.
I've made it clear all along that his party affiliation is irrelevant. He was a municipal official appointed by a Republican governor, carrying out the policy preferences of that Republican governor. Why do you think Snyder appointed him? Because of a fundamental disagreement about the way Flint was to be managed?
Oh BS, you have not. Who do you honestly think you are fooling?
>>He was the one to send the message to Detroit that Flint would be discontinuing the use of Detroit water.
It's the failure to properly treat the water that poisoned the children.
So when Early finalized the plan to cut over to Flint River water had he taken the necessary steps to ensure the water was properly treated?
>>putting Democrats in charge of a school district is usually a terrible idea.
When a lying weasel like Synder picks them I will agree.
Nope, Detroit schools have been terrible for a very very long time, and almost entirely a Democrat run cesspool.
>>Earley was a what? A DEMOCRAT? Yeah, you keep avoiding that point.
How have I "avoided" it? I've dismissed it as irrelevant. Snyder appointed him.
Because you were the one that decided to make Flint water a REPUBLICAN issue. You are still trying.
>>Had he been a REPUBLICAN you wouldn't stop talking about it.
I would feel the same way. Does it matter what religion he practices or which sports teams he cheers for?
You tell me. These subdivisions seem to matter more to you than most. But you are a democrat, so subdividing is in your blood.
>>if he were a Republican and the Governor were a Democrat you would insist that the EM take all of the blame.
Just more of yer worthless garbage.
Everyone has your number, mmi. Your denial doesn't change anyone's opinion.
Is Obama responsible for Benghazi? I just want to see how far up the chain that tragedy goes with you.
>>the water was treated … the treatment of the water didn't sufficiently neutralize the pH to keep the water from eroding the aging lead pipes.
Yeah, it was treated with chlorine for bacteria. Not being treated to avoid pipe corrosion is the issue — that's what poisoned the children.
And to you this is an issue that none of the Democrats at ground level could have done anything about? When Earley made the switch to Flint River water was he negligent?
>>It's funny to see you playing and grammar police and spell checker and then you make purposeful stupid misstatement like that.
I'm glad yer amused. Yer statement was, "There was no such block of water treatment. The water in Flint was treated."
And I am correct. Where do you get your information that Republicans blocked neutralizing the pH in order to poison black Flint residents? You made the stupid claim, you back it up.
The relevant treatment was not applied, and that occurred because Snyder's DEQ blocked it. Civil and criminal actions have resulted. Fwiw, I do not believe that you are being "purposely stupid." (That's the proper term here.) I figure it just comes to you naturally, without any effort being required.
You've mad ethe claim a few times but provide no evidence. Show me where the DEQ blocked neutralizing the pH of the water.
>>HAHAHAH!! Oh good grief! The CRITICAL time was when the Detroit water was shut off and the Flint River water was turned on!
The critical time was when the decision not to treat the water was made and enforced over EPA objections.
Again you make a claim you don't back up. The DEQ was using lime to control the pH but it wasn't sufficient. There was no refusal to treat the water, the treatment was insufficient to control the highly acidic Flint River water.
>>You follow the story that puts the blame of Republicans and ignores the Democrats.
Yeah, the "story," as reported by credible outlets, does indeed put the blame on Snyder and his administration and appointees. We'll see how the courts end up viewing the issues involved.
Yeah, and you determine "cedible outlets" by how well they jibe with what you want to hear.
