Something Smells Rotten in Flint City Hall... And It's Not the Trash!!!

Last week six state employees were criminally charged in district court in relation to the disaster in Flint. You remember the disaster. The water crisis that poisoned a poor city with lead water? The crisis that effected minorities disproportionately? The Detroit Free Press reports that six employees: Michigan Department of Health and Human Services workers Nancy Peeler, Corinne Miller and Robert Scott, and Michigan Department of Environmental Quality employees  Liane Shekter-Smith; Adam Rosenthal and Patrick Cook,  are said to have either "failed to act" or minimized the actual harm that was done and still others purposely altered the data and ignored the results of the tests. You already know how high or rather how low that rabbit hole goes in government cover up and conspiracy. 

Now Get this. The little tiff between  them is over who gets to pick up the city garbage per The Washington Post. Mayor Weaver decided not to renew the city's contract with Republic Services, instead choosing the more economical Rizzo Environmental Services. Rizzo's bid for the trash pick-up was a whopping $2 million less than Republic Services. The council had previously vetoed her suggestion by a vote of 8-1. She overrode the veto but the council demanded more time to research the new trash company, Rizzo. In a political stalemate, the decision went before the court to decide who has final word. 

First the water, now the trash. 

In the meantime residents have spent day one without trash pick up in the dark and seething the best interests of the collective are being undermined by the best interests of the few.
