@5:13 Citizen here is on the right track. Here's what I would have done. I would pay two professional water quality experts that are not local and not state employed for a complete analysis. About $500 local here. I would enlist a chemist from a nearby university to analyze at no cost as a project for community service/health. All testimony and laboratory findings witnessed by notary at 1st, file as an affidavit if it goes to court. To be sealed an given to a lawyer or preferably a close, personally known retired judge. Bills from the city would be collected, notarized and given to lawyer/judge. None are to be paid. When it gets to the point of eviction, you take all info gathered to a *Federal Court* file each and every bill, and correspondence _separately_ as violation of the RICO Act citing extortion, fraud, intimidation as primary elements and also file separately violations of Federal Mail and Wire Fraud, and encourage the F.B.I to conduct a looky-loo. Then it will be up to them to prove it is water, and demand only 1 demonstration to prove it...drink it.

I recall when we use to start meetings with prayers, schools prayed and recited hymns, etc. Where the spirit of the lord is there is liberty and there is order. Now we have leaders who care about themselves. We need to invite God back into our meetings and schools and then all these problems will be solved. As soon as God steps in Gentrification will be a thing of the past. We cant fight by ourselves, we need God.

writerconsidered Okay. I haven't seen it. I was following him on twitter and checked it a few times only to be disappointed. Searching Google didn't bring up anything recent, either. The latest I could find was a Dec 2016 article. I've watched most of Jordan's Flint videos and some of the residents have mentioned his 'silence' and lack of action? I had hoped he would do more considering it is his home town and it is such a disgusting situation that deserves attention. These people need to be given a voice. I'd rather see him film the tragedy & corruption of Flint than Donald Trump. I am thankful Jordan has stayed on this. He has done an excellent job. I would just like to see a lot more reporting from others on it, too.

I agree I grew up by the Flint area I know longer liver in lower Michigan. I have family and friends deeply impacted by the corruption. Please lift the residents of Flint up in prayers and positive vibes. I was down in Flint last weekend and it makes me sad to think of the neglect this city is living. As soon as you hit Genesee county I seen a actually shopping cart along the expressway and trash all over. People are giving up who is going to clean up expressways and city streets when you can't even stay bathe or drink the water in your home. I don't think that people are aware that there is so much more to the story. The woman who first discovered the lead in the water was found murdered in her home as well as her friend. All of this money that is being sent to help repair and replace things is gone. I will find the TV 12 flint article in Flint Journal about the murders so everyone that sees this can read it. Sad and horrific. Bless all of you with much love.

When Mays spoke about the elected city council not doing something to help residents then why were people siding with Galloway not calling them out.

He seems to love to hear himself talk but never learned to speak softly, so he has no idea how he comes across, or if he does, he doesn't care.
