The state particularly the Michigan Department of Environment Quality has shut down water distribution sites , and spend millions and millions of dollars of taxpayer's money in court to dispose of the claims to compensate for damages to the people of Flint. The state even tried to take their case to the U.S. Supreme Court. So-called experts have declared the children of Flint were not poisoned.

Lyon will face additional charges in connection with one of the largest out breaks of legionella in recorded history related to the Flint water crisis. Incredibly he is still on his job. said the People Tribune all credit go to the staff of the People Tribune.....
