Sorry to sound cynical but it's a question of funding. Flint city council (Democrats) almost unanimously voted to switch the water source to the Flint River to cut costs because they did not have funding for a renegotiated contract with the original water source. The city was effectively bankrupt.

>Michigan just gave General Motors $2 billion to build two EV battery plants, one in Lansing and the other in Detroit which will create 3,000 jobs.

This is fake news, Michigan state did not give money out to GM.

>The state caused Flint's problem by discontinuing water from Detroit and pulling from a local river without adding a required chemical.

>This decision was made by an emergency manager appointed by the then governor to save money.

Voted almost unanimously by the city council. Everyone loves to leave that detail out.
