Here is some terrific news: Flint's water pipes could be fixed by May!

My heart goes out to the people of Flint. This debacle should have never happened. But The Hill reports Flint's pipes might be fixed by May:

By that time, hopefully, those responsible for this betrayal to this community will be facing retribution. One cannot allow a poisoning of a community to happen and then walk away simply as if it didn't.

It is tragic. And now we are finding out Flint is not the only community with this problem.

What has this Country come to?

And I said back then being poor will become a criminal offense.

I never imagined 'they' would attempt to murder the poor!

That is why I think it is important those responsible must pay a price for their negligence. We will see.

Of course, they still have the repercussions to address, but at least the threat of the poisoned water will cease to exist, and that will give them a chance to regroup and to rethink what they must do for their children and themselves.
