http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/1/12/1468806/-Michigan-police-confirm-break-in-at-the-City-Hall-office-where-the-Flint-water-documents-are-storedThere has been a break-in at the Flint, Michigan office where documents related to the lead poisoned water are being stored. And it wasnt just any officeit was an office in the mayor's suite:
Flint police previously reported a break-in at City Hall, 1101 S. Saginaw St. over the holiday break, but information released Monday, Jan. 11, confirmed the break-in happened at a vacant executive office in the mayor's suite that contained documents related to the city's water system.
"The office that was broken into is where some water files are kept," Flint Mayor Karen Weaver said. "However, at this point it's hard to tell if any files were taken. The only thing we know for sure was stolen is a TV."
Were other offices robbed? No:
