Independent Underground News & Talk Public Statement on Flint's Toxic Lead Water Situation

(Michigan) -It is deeply worrying that our Michigan Governor -- Rick Snyder -- have decided to "just reconnect" Flint's Water System to Detroit's Water Department, without a proper independently based examination of what this re-connection might do to Detroit's Water System for the People of Southeastern Michigan -- who are largely depended on Detroit's Water Department for clean, safe drinking, bathing and everyday use -- water.

Equally, the People of Michigan should be troubled by the flat out incompetence of our Governor, his Emergency Managers and some of Flint's Elected Officials.

As our program Independent Underground Radio LIVE in an exclusive interview with Councilman Eric Mays confirmed on Tuesday, October 6, 2015, Governor Rick Snyder and his appointed officials flat out refused to believe Flint's Residents when for well over a YEAR they stated over and over again -- the water was toxic.

The water was Brown, Tan, Black filled with rocks, milky white and other things water should never be.

This entire situation calls for a FEDERAL investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice at this point. Our State Officials and especially the Governor's Office and all appointees of our Governor CANNOT be trusted to manage this issue -- they covered up for the Governor in the first place for well over a YEAR.

Kids are SUFFERING. The People of Flint are SUFFERING. And the long term impact of Lead Poisoning has not even been felt yet.

This is SHAMEFUL and frankly puts our State in a Black Eye moment in time.

This is total negligence on the part of the city. Our decaying infrastructure is coming back to bite us in the ass.

Where did the acid water in the river come from?
