Why is Flint, Michigan being treated like America’s bastard child? Asking for a friend.
🚨EXCLUSIVE: Prosecutors were on the verge of filing major #FlintWaterCrisis racketeering charges against govt officials—for financial fraud that led to the crisis— b4 MI AG Dana Nessel took office, fired prosecutors, & "let it go." By me + @Charlieleduff theguardian.com/us-news/2022…

During Reagan-Volker shock to the economy in 1981-82, Flint had the highest unemployment rate in the US at 30%. I grew up in Muskegon, MI which had the 2nd highest at 26%. Extremely destructive to lives including my families'.
Jordan’s reporting tells it like it IS!

Well, welcome to the good ol' U...S. .. of A. where things that should have been dealt with years ago...never get done. When the problem has always been the 2 party system -- 2 wings of the same bird. Americans need to figure out a better political system.

Answer: It's a low income, diverse city. Therefore, high on the priority for a culling.

Follow the money. The root of evil is greed. I am not a philosopher but I play one on Twitter.

I recall Dana Nessel made a statement coming into office detailing why charges were dropped. IIRC it had something to do with issues in the charges itself and were to be re-filed. Beware of citing anything related to Charlie Duff as some of his articles are a bit sketchy.

Was this tweet’s choice of words a hit at Trudeau (Castro Jr) ? 🤔
