No, it’s an actual example of a normal citizen getting a vote on the floor of a bill they wrote.

The Flint water crisis is a crisis in name only. Blood lead levels were lower during the crisis than years before it happened.

“ The study, which appears in the Journal of Pediatrics, found a decrease in Flint childhood blood lead levels, from 2.33 micrograms per deciliter in 2006 to 1.15 micrograms per deciliter in 2016 — a historic low for the city.”
