Flint, Michigan Democrats Authorize Politically-Connected Firms to Waste Millions of Dollars Digging Up Non-Existent Pipes Instead of Going by the Map That Shows Exactly Where They Are;
Left-Wing Media, For Some Reason, Completely Uninterested in This

See the Luke Rosniak tweets below for the digest, as well as for links to his story about this scandal.

Never let a crisis go to waste -- every crisis is a wonderful opportunity to shower millions of federal taxpayer dollars on politically-connected companies, and get some nice kickbacks in return, maybe.

The media isn't interested in this because they'd have to dig random holes to find a Republican office-holder within 30 miles of this catastrophe.

A politically-connected contractor charged taxpayers by how many holes they dug, so the city had them dig holes everywhere to "explore" whether there were lead pipes there, rather than just using the map. When an engineer objected, city hall official threatened "trouble" for him

Competent reporting on the Flint water crisis would include "hydrovac" (banning equipment that would fix the problem quickest) & the "predictive model" (ignoring the map that tells you where the lead is)

NYT etc would rather do fear-mongering sob stories on water w/ no substance

Here are my last 3 stories on the true story of Flint, all of which IMO are shocking:https://t.co/UiOACrzyaN https://t.co/zJLkCSwZZ2 https://t.co/qQkKplDBet

Be sure to watch the videos of Flint's insane councilman ranting. He was the finance chair!
