I am impressed with this new group of Democrats. They have a vigorous approach to their post election jobs. It was only 24 hours or so when Governor Elect Whitmer stated she was going to have the Attorney General review the cases filed regarding Flint, Michigan. I think she wants to make a difference and bring solace to the people of Flint. I also believe she will be a friend to Mayor Karen Weaver.
Flint needs so much more than healthy water, but, getting the water crisis in Flint right will be a wonderful start to a refreshed relationship between the state and the city. I look forward to the administration of Governor Elect Whitmer.
