Flint Is Still Out Of Order
Flint City Hall fountain.
I got my answer before I ever asked. The drinking fountain at City Hall had a sign taped over it: Out Of Order.
I walked into {Mayor} Weaver's office. A surly aide took my card and promised to get back to me. She hasn't yet.
The broken fountain is a symbol of so much that is wrong in Vehicle City.
Lead water pipe replacements are still not complete. Those contracts are under federal investigation by the FBI and EPA, according to internal government documents to which I was made privy.
