Am I supposed to guess which article you are referring to, or would you like to tell me?

"Even if you want to propagate that the lead poisoning isn't a "big deal" - that's for scientists and doctors to decide, on an international level - not you. Just because tons of other poor kids are also being lead poisoned doesn't mean that it suddenly is no longer poisoning. "

Why are you "quoting" something I never wrote or even implied?

Crime should be a priority - one of the last grocery stores in Flint will likely shut down soon due to the recent murder of the store's owner. Businesses stay away for a reason, thus, no jobs. People move out for a reason, thus, poor home sales.

Medicaid requires children to be tested for lead...so poor people have a better chance of discovering a problem than the parents in a "gated community".

Your assertion about people being forced to sign a lead waiver is ridiculous. You are referring to a lead addendum that addresses lead paint - and should tell the resident the home has been painted, which greatly abates any lead paint that might have been used 38 years ago. Lead in water is rare because treated public water coats the pipes and lead doesn't leach. Flint's problem stems from the corrosive, inadequately treated river water.

Any home or apartment built after 1978 would likely not contain a lead addendum.

The fault for the water crisis belongs to many in Flint, but making it a political issue is asinine. Whose fault is the lead poisoning of all those children in Grand Rapids? They have no detectable lead in the their public water supply.

The leeching is in the pipes leading to the individual homes, the way I understand it.

Are you saying Flint had a booming real estate market prior to the water problem?

Also, remember that the EM did not drop the Detroit water system, the Detroit water system dropped Flint after they voted to go with another company 2 years down the road. If people would have paid their water bills, there would not have been a reason to change at all.

Lots of responsibility to go around, IMO.

The elected city officials in Flint are Democrat.

Donna, everything we have countered with is sourced. Michael Moore is remiss in not addressing the even higher lead in the blood levels of children in cities like Grand Rapids, MI, and Chicago, Ill.
