Judge tosses charges against 7 people in Flint water crisis

[TigressDem]

7. Was Judge Elizabeth Kelly appointed or elected? AND what does the EVIDENCE say?

THIS IS TRUE:

“State employees should not be prosecuted or demonized for just doing their job,” Lyon said after the court’s decision.


BUT THEY DID NOT DO THEIR JOB AND PEOPLE DIED. THAT IS WILLFUL NEGLIGENCE RESULTING IN WRONGFUL DEATHS.

The saga began in 2014 when Flint managers appointed by Snyder dropped out of a regional water system and began using the Flint River to save money while a new pipeline to Lake Huron was under construction. State regulators insisted the river water didn’t need to be treated to reduce its corrosive qualities. But that was a ruinous decision: Lead released from old pipes flowed for 18 months in the majority-Black city.

The Michigan Civil Rights Commission said it was the result of systemic racism, doubting that the water switch and the brush-off of complaints would have occurred in a white, prosperous community.
