10 deaths from legionnaires disease in Flint

[Siwsan]

9. I saw Congressman Kildee bring this up with President Obama, as he left the SOTU, Tuesday night

He leaned right in, said something and then I heard POTUS say something like "This is about the water situation?"

Congressman Kildee is a fierce representative, as is my state senator, Jim Ananich. They have been fighting this battle for a long time, now - far longer than most people realize. Unfortunately, until Rachel Maddow grabbed ahold of the story, it just didn't have much in the way of a national spotlight because Snyder and his minions kept poo-pooing all of the people's concerns.

The fight is now three fold - get the lead out of the water, get reimbursed for the water bills that were paid for undrinkable water, and get the water treated to kill the bacteria that's triggering the Legionnaire's outbreak. Hopefully having the entire nation now aware of what's happened, Snyder and the rest will now be held to account.
