Hey, guys, a little off-topic: Does anyone know who started this group?

Or how a group is started? Do we suggest a group to the Admins or something? My memory is vague, and a cursory glance around didn't reveal anything. Thanks a bunch for any help, and sorry for a rudimentary question, but with my MS I just can't process as much as I used to be able to. (brain lesions and nerve damage. goes all the way to my brain stem if that helps you understand). Thanks again for any input.

Heat turned way up over Flint water crisis

LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder is likely to devote much of his annual State of the State speech to a drinking water emergency that has put Flint residents at risk and engulfed his administration in controversy and criticism.

Snyder, a Republican, is expected to further detail plans to address the contamination of Flint's water with lead during his address to the GOP-led Legislature Tuesday night.

Michigan is already providing lead testing, filters, bottled water and other essentials in the city of 99,000.

Some say customers shouldn't have to pay their water bills because the water is unsafe without filtering, but it's unclear if lawmakers will cover the expense.

It Is With The Heaviest of Hearts That We Announce…

Source: Eagles home page

...the passing of our comrade, Eagles founder, Glenn Frey, in New York City on Monday, January 18th, 2016.

Glenn fought a courageous battle for the past several weeks but, sadly, succumbed to complications from Rheumatoid Arthritis, Acute Ulcerative Colitis and Pneumonia.

The Frey family would like to thank everyone who joined Glenn to fight this fight and hoped and prayed for his recovery.

Words can neither describe our sorrow, nor our love and respect for all that he has given to us, his family, the music community & millions of fans worldwide.

Michiganders: Is there a process for either recalling or impeaching your Governor?

Or otherwise removing from office? It doesn't appear his illegal takeover of Flint ever got any traction? But the wanton and willful poisoning of FLint's residents certainly has MY attention, and I'm not even in Michigan. Please tell me there is. Please tell me there is already a petition...
