Leaked Emails Show Government Officials Making Fun of Poisoned Flint Residents
Submitted by IWB, on January 25th, 2016
A total of 294 pages of Snyder’s emails were released, though most key ones were heavily redacted.
The emails do reveal, however, that the decision to force residents to pay for poisoned water from the city was done with the hopes of politicians saving $5 million dollars, in order to fund corporate handouts.
Such shortcuts resulted in the city water supply simply having chlorine added to it after “coliform and fecal coliform bacterium” were found in it.
The Snyder administration was also caught in the emails belittling the residents who complained about their disgusting, poisoned water. They jokingly referred to the water pollution as “initial hiccups” and said residents were merely whining about the “aesthetics” of the water.
