$600 million victims fund.

Damages to a human body, a child, an unborn fetus and the deaths of the elderly are hard to put in dollars. $600 million is a good settlement. I guess it's up to the Flint residents to decide if that is proportionate to their losses. I don't know why the details are public either.

I think other criminal investigations and legal proceedings, including that of individuals are still ongoing.

The residents of Flint, Michigan (click here) will reportedly receive $600 million to compensate for lead-tainted drinking water, which began back in April of 2014.

The details are not public but, according to the Associated Press, after 18 months of negotiations with the offices of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Attorney General Dana Nessel, and the residents of Flint, a $600 million settlement was reached.

A spokesperson for Attorney General Nessel said in a statement, “We and the other parties are bound by a federal court order to maintain the confidentiality of detailed settlement and mediation communications until we reach a certain point. We have not yet reached the point where we can discuss a potential settlement.”...

Republicans need to knock it off. Being in Trump's back pocket is NOT the place to stake a claim to office.

This is pathetic. Even McConnell knows better than to speak at the Republican National Convention and Portman is defending a Post Master General that is doing his level best to sabotage the 2020 election.

Here are some of the basics, Americans need drop boxes to mail their letters, bill payments, and yes, their votes. They need RELIABLE mail service and DeJoy is providing is hugely problematic serve for all the people.

DeJoy BROKE IT AND NOW HE BETTER FIX IT BEFORE THE BALLOTING THAT BEGINS IN OCTOBER.

After Americans post their mail in the drop boxes, mailpersons on foot or by postal truck pick up the mail and place it into the system so the SORTING MACHINES can direct it based on the address. 

Anyone realize how remarkable those sorting machines are and how they have evolved over time. The genius of the Post Service over the decades have kept up with modern demands, not only that by the commercial services CANNOT match the efficiency of the USA Postal Service sorting machines. The sorting machines read handwriting, no commercial operation does. Not one. A customer has to fill out forms to mail through them and then machine created labels are attached to the package to be mailed with a bar code. No American has a bar code on their handwritten envelopes.

Over decades of time THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTIONALLY CREATED POST SERVICE NEVER AND I DO MEAN NEVER HAS ASKED AMERICANS TO CHANGE THEIR HANDWRITING. INSTEAD, THE POST SERVICE LOVED THE AMERICANS HANDWRITING THEY LEARNED IN SCHOOL AND FOUND MODIFICATIONS AND NEW INVENTION TO READ THE VERY PRECIOUS AMERICAN HANDWRITING.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

The US Postal Service and it's employees are magnificent and dare I say PERFECT!

DeJoy and now it looks like Rob Portman just can't wait to sabotage a perfect mail service and a presidential election. Trump, DeJoy, and evidently Portman are horrible human beings that think they can circumvent the USA Constitution and doing so an election.

SANTA CLAUS IS GOING TO RECEIVE HIS LETTERS AT THE NORTH POLE OR GOD HELP YOU!

IT IS DISGUSTING!

...“As we head into the election season, (click here) I want to assure this committee and the American public that the Postal Service is fully capable and committed to delivering the nation’s election mail securely and on time,” DeJoy told the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. “This sacred duty is my number one priority between now and Election Day.”...
