Hillary Clinton partners with Flint mayor on city water initiative (Hillary GRP)

I am very glad to see this--and am sure the mayor of Flint and those affected are also. Yet, Hillary is being hit upon by Sander fans in LBN once again. Shameful.

FLINT, MI – Mayor Karen Weaver will be joined by Chelsea Clinton to announced a water initiative just a few hours ahead of the the March 6 Democratic presidential debate in Flint.

A press conference has been scheduled for Sunday afternoon at Mott Community College, 1401 E. Court St. to announce the "Flint WaterWorks" initiative, in partnership with Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

"Flint WaterWorks is a new program which will provide Flint youth with jobs distributing clean water, healthy food and nutrition information and services to families in need," reads a statement from the city.
..................................

Clinton visited House of Prayer Missionary Baptist Church in Flint last month to discuss the city's ongoing water crisis, as did fellow candidate Bernie Sanders who held a community forum Feb. 25 at Woodside Church on the city's east side.

Going to cost millions more and this does not cover any cost of damage to the lives of Flint.
