I'm sick of inept governors....PERIOD. I don't care if they have an (R) or (D) behind their name. Under Snyder, public infrastructure and penal system institutions have been woefully mismanaged, the child welfare system in this state is among the worst in the entire nation (yet another topic that re...

If it's as simple as requiring background checks at gun shows and for all other private party firearm sales, I'm all in favor of that conceptually. What I'm NOT in favor of, however, is bypassing Congress. Let's face it - if he were to be so bold (or douchey) to try such a tactic, it would in all li...

TC Shuts Up - I don't always agree with you (and sometimes I vehemently disagree), but you made some good points earlier. Too few people in government positions who are looking for political power, Right and Left, are making these decisions. Detroit and Flint, when it was the source for its suburbs ...

I read the auditor's report, NS8401. He gave the MDEQ the benefit of the doubt based on his interpretation of the phrase "corrosion control program." I found his report to be flimsy and superficial. Go to michiganradio.org and read the task force's full letter. I found it enlightening. Edit -- here ...

For the millionth time, switching to the Flint River in and of itself was not the cause behind the crisis. The failure to add anti corrosion agents to the drinking water was the culprit. It was the MDEQ's responsibility to ensure this was occurring. They (in my view) intentionally misled the EPA abo...

I agree completely with that comment.

That piece of shit, Brad Wurfel, is gone, too!!! Michigan Radio is the only outlet, to the best of my knowledge, to be reporting that piece of info at this point. http://michiganradio.org/post/mdeq-director-wyant-resigns-over-flint-water-crisis-snyder-apologizes#stream/0 Even within the past week, t...

Slowly, drips and drabs of the Flint Water Task Force's findings are being shared publicly. To the best of my knowledge, a comprehensive report of all findings has yet to be released, as the Task Force's work still remains in process. I do view an event that occurred earlier today as an important mi...

WLEN's air talent is lousy and their production values are equally as poor. There are numerous small town stations out there who follow a similar model. I hear some of them when driving through Ohio. I think they keep winning that honor as a goof and nothing more. There are plenty of stations out th...

The new sweepers suck. They sound low budget. The production quality isn't even in the same league as the material voiced by Scott Fisher. They do not belong on a major market station...or even a medium market station. They truly sound *that* bad. They sound like something lifted from a station in M...

Did you eat the paint chips? Did you drink leaded gasoline or inhale the vapors?

My point is - your comparisons aren't exactly analogous to ingesting WATER contaminated with lead.

I hope you are correct that the victims don't suffer long-term effects.

Un-fucking-believable (actually, it isn't...these are public "servants" from Snyder's corrupt administration): http://michiganradio.org/post/reporter-s-notebook-some-state-officials-still-denial-or-misinformed-over-flint-river-decision#stream/0 Still waiting for Snyder's hand-picked...err independen...

i parked in the neighborhood behind it on ferris street, i got there at about 6pm too, i was standing in the crowd to the right of trump, i actually saw where i was on WOODs camera pan. Not an option for us, unfortunately. My mom has a bum knee; would've been too far for her to walk. If she weren't...

You're lucky, 48125. I arrived too late and couldn't get in. Watched the whole speech online. Other than the first 15 or 20 minutes, the speech was mediocre. He found a way to stretch material worthy of a 30 minute speech into an hour long speech. Surprisingly, he spent very little if any time discu...

One of the men Brian named could quite possibly wind up being the V.P. nominee - especially Kasich or Bush. I don't see how the Republicans take the White House unless they win at least one of those states.

The Clinton campaign is absolutely justified in being fearful of a Rubio / Kasich ticket.
