Which I attended at the same time as Dan Kildee (though I didn't know him).

When I first heard that Flint water was being taken from the river, I was horrified. My entire childhood was spent hating when the wind came from the south and we could smell the raw sewage and industrial waste flowing within walking distance of where we lived.

Remember that church that tRump spoke at? I was once a bridesmaid at a wedding there.

My family lives in Flushing, still within smelling distance of that damn open sewer called a river.
