Eclectablog is by far the best progressive blog in Michigan. Rachel Maddow knew nothing about what was going on in our state until Chris Savage filled her in on Snyder's takeover. She's been wonderful about spreading the word and right this minute she is talking about outbreaks of Legionnaire's Disease in Flint, which most likely was caused by that dirty water.

In reply to Ramona, it must be difficult

"Difficult" is a mild way of putting it. I've lost respect for some of my own family members over this--and they, of course, have lost respect for me. But that's trivial compared to what goes on day after day in our state. This is a fight worth fighting, and I'm energized by so many other progressive/liberals who aren't about to give up, either. We'll win and they'll lose. Maybe, finally, it'll be now.

Ramona, it must be difficult as a progressive resident of that state to have witnessed such malfeasance. Good post.

Snyder and everyone down

Snyder and everyone down chain that was involved in this needs to do some jail time. Electoblog has been reporting about ALEC organization and it's influence on Michigan legislators for the last 6 years.

I would not be afraid to tell all my republican friends that vote what fools they are being duped by the GOP. Call Snyder and his minions what they are "Facists." You don't have to be civil or polite when a whole city of children have been poisoned with lead through that kind of malfeasants and racism. They won't like it but you will make them think.

Thanks, Danny. I would like

I am not calm, Mr. Smith, I am livid. I have cried over this story more than once. In fact, it's the reason I haven't been able to write about it until now. I knew the day had to come and I wondered, too, how I would address it. This isn't the first effort. The others are still in draft form. But I'm from Michigan. I love my state. And it's terrible that this is all I can do about the situation there.

As for something being done by the Feds or by lawsuits, etc., I'm still hoping.

I don't know, maybe it's me, but I don't think there is any way to tell this story without ranting, spitting, screaming and having veins popping out of one's forehead. How do you remain so calm and reasonable in relating these events? I mean, Snyder is literally committing a form of genocide with malice aforethought. Why haven't the Feds moved in and shut down his Emergency Manager scam? Especially now that they have poisoned the children of Flint, Michigan. Snyder needs to be recalled and imprisoned.

The news of all this H2O pollution in Michigan really shocked me!

Michigan has been made its own personal purgatory for decades.

But poisoning the citizens of this great state for a few bucks in savings is indefensible.

Keep us posted.

Why hasn't the appointment of special masters and taking power from local governments been overturned by the courts?
