After more than six years of no accountability (click here) for former Michigan Governor Rick Snyder for his actions leading to the poisoning of the city of Flint, Snyder was arraigned on Wednesday for two counts of willful neglect of duty. He is the first of Michigan’s 49 governors in 184 years to face charges related to their time in office. If convicted, he could face up to one year in jail and up to $1,000 in fines. Snyder is among nine senior officials who are facing a total of 42 criminal charges for their actions that caused a deadly Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in Genesee County, and caused permanent, irreversible brain damage due to lead poisoning to thousands of Flint children....
Jordon Chariton, on the podcast "Rumble by Michael Moore," reveals the truth about the cover-up conducted directly by Rich Snyder. He has evidence to assist in the investigation to bring true jusice to the people of Flint and this country.
There are over 100 dead due to Legionella. The medical center was told at one point to stop testing for Legionella. There is an ongoing nightmare rolling out in Flint in the way of cancers and mental deterioration. At one point the people of Flint were told their water test was normal. They drank the water after those tests came in and they are now suffering from serious disease due to the ingestion of that poisoned water.
According to Mr. Chariton the water mains in Flint have not been replace, but, the house pipelines are being replaced. That is ridiculous. How were such dangerous choice being made? Why replace the house lines if the water mains into the city aren't replaced? What was done to the water mains, line them? Where is the proof and lining water mains are not considered a permanent solution. I know that was being discussed under Snyder.
I have absolutely no doubt this was racism. The Michigan Attorney General must assign an investigaton into the corruption and political rangling that occurred. Snyder's friends and donors have profited by removing democratically elected local government and installing emergency managers to force sales of city assets and even poisoning the Flint residents. Snyder's criminal charges are grossly incomplelte, including manslaughter. He knew exactly what was happening during the entire Flint Water Crisis. He knew and he did nothing. The Michigan Attorney General cannot become an accomplice to the lies that Snyder tells.
The charges brought last week against all those people is just the beginning. I am grateful Michigan's Executive Branch is willing to bring charges, but, they need to complete the work to bring about justice.
Until tomorrow.
