This is so very sad and scary for all those citizens of the Flint area. This shouldnbever happen in America!!!!

[yahooo]

it's unfortunate to see what has happened. situations like this should never occur. Everyone should have access to clean water as it is not a privilege, but a necessity. hope all these people have gained access to the necessity.

Mold dripping off of faucets and shower heads or in your carpets and ventilation. Schools that tell you a child has been exposed to lead in their drinking fountains while in attendance. What kind of owners of these places thinks it's ok?

You complain, and suddenly your out or the establishment goes or was under. Stop selling unhealthy environments. Fix it or get out of managing living or business space.
