Disenfranchised is the overwhelming theme in an article if “Business Insider.” It reflects on Snyder’s political grandstanding when announcing the decision for emergency manager. Snyder announced the decision on Election Day in Flint five hours before the polls close. The sitting mayor would be elected to a full term, but, without the capacity to institute change WITH the state in a consent decree. The state to all power from the governing body and created a unilateral authority to bring about a resolve to the $25.7 million debt.
The citizens were disenfranchised as well. There was no one interested in hearing their complaints when the poisoned water came through the pipes. Becoming their own megaphone was their own choice. That didn’t work until a pediatrician and a university professor from out of state gathered evidence. It took this extreme and a year of suffering before the emergency of a different kind made it’s way to Governor Snyder.
The article was written by Anna Clark and entitled, “Michigan’s Micromanagement made Flint’s water crisis worse than it should have been”.
The Michigan Emergency Manager law disenfranchises citizens from any measure of governance without anyone to hear and process complaints.
Come to understand: No one in Snyder’s administration would take complaints. No complaints from the citizens of Flint NOR any complaints from the US EPA, especially with that black in the White House. Flint was CUT OFF like a bad child that didn’t spend their allowance wisely. Got it? Flint was not to receive any attention to any complaint because it would cost money. It would take a pediatrician and an out of state university professor and his students to finally get the attention of Snyder to recognize extremely poisoned water that had been for the PREVIOUS YEAR.
Understand? Flint would FIRST be made to pay off a $25.7 million debt BEFORE ANY concern of the people would ever be heard. Snyder cut off ANYONE, including the US EPA, that was complaining on behalf of the citizens of Flint. The people were left alone and they got sick and they died. No one in Michigan cared because the $25.7 million had to be reconciled first. YES, Snyder is just that ruthless when it comes to money. End of discussion.
