1. Watch Rachel Maddow's show.

The cases were dismissed without prejudice, which means they can be re-filed, and the new prosecutors want Rick Snyder's phone. So it's evidently not over - they are continuing to investigate.

2. We'll learn something on June 28, according to Rachel,

when prosecutors meet with/discuss with the population.

3. Old investigation was limited because the Republican AG started it

the new Democratic AG will investigate it more thoroughly

4. There will be more charges

Charges were dropped without prejudice so they can be charged again. They have found new evidence that they are going over and it is quite likely there will be others charged and that the direction for this came from the top. The governor.

7. As upset as I get over the whole vicious debacle

Flint is not the only place with poisoned water problems. Jackson, MS, also has a lead problem that was kept quiet. No doubt there are many many other places, too.

I was born and grew up in Flint. Every school I attended, from kindergarten to high school, has been closed. The children and grandchildren of my friends and former classmates has been deliberately poisoned by the government. My feelings about my hometown are odd, a mix of deep sadness, confusion, rage, and resignation. Flint didn't die. It was murdered.
