These sort of things stay with you as a young person. I remember a time when I was in an eight-grade classroom and a strong wind blew up, breaking several large panes of glass. Shards flew into the room and two students were injured, one severely, but, they both recovered without a problem. The next day the classroom had plywood where the windows were and the room felt strange and the two students effected weren't there.

Despite the water test results, the replacement of all lead service lines is not yet complete, leaving many residents fearful that the water might not be safe in every home.
Across the country, many have taken to Twitter to criticize Snyder’s decision....
