‘Snyder poisoned kids in Flint,’ reads banner flying over Ann Arbor

A plane with a banner is flying over the Crisler Center on Saturday ahead of the Michigan-Michigan State game, but it's not about basketball.

I realize the effect of lead on children is horrific, but it is not walk in the park for adults, either. My former boss had some serious oral surgery for cancer, and can't risk using even the filtered water to rinse her mouth when she brushes her teeth.

And this Legionnaire Disease issue - damn - it is terrifying.

Rick Snyder, Flint's EFM, and his pals at Mi-DEQ had a lot more to do with it.

Not to save money, but to screw up Detroit Water and Sewerage.

Fucking pathetic.
