Due to the inaction of state and federal officials, thousands of people in Flint have been exposed to unsafe levels of lead in their water. Now a group of union plumber are taking matters into their own hands.
On Saturday, 300 plumbers from unions across the country descended on Flint to install new faucets and water filters for free.
Many Flint residents needed new faucets because their existing faucets were so old they could not accommodate water filters provided by the state.
The effort was coordinated by the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry, known as the United Association. The fixtures were donated by the Plumbing Manufacturers International.

Now the Repubs will have to find a new way to fuck things up so they can increase their profits.
There's nothing wrong with America that keeping corporatists out of government can't fix.

Ironic, huh? Snyder poisons the residents of his state, then as a union-buster, sits back and lets unions rescue his residents.
Only in Repub World! 
Snyder should be forced to drink eight 8-once glasses of his Flint water every day! 
Couldn't agree more!
As for "fed time," wouldn't that be the job of the Attorney General?
...but I don't have FaceBook or Twitter accounts.
However, if you do...!! 
especially since Flint is a majority Africsn- American city.
The "American public," you so blithely disparage, includes you, me, these great plumbers and the Iowans who just voted en masse for a socialist, so maybe you could put a lid on the sour self-hate for awhile.

Wonderful!
