If everything is equal, not only are there no choices, but nothing is good, better, or best, or bad, worse, or worst.  Everything is the same. Everything is normal

It has been five years since it was discovered that lead from old pipes had been leaching into the drinking water of Flint, Michigan because corrosion-control treatment following a change in the water source was not there. This became a health emergency not only because of an immediate outbreak  of Legionnaires’ disease that killed 12 people and affected 87 others, but because lead poisoning would have a future effect on the 6,000 to 12,000 children who had been drinking  the water.

The assumption is that in the five intervening years the situation has been remedied and the news cycle has move on anyway.

We just don’t think about it much anymore anyway.

But that does not erase the real situation.

Responsibility for the disaster got spread and passed around, deflected and denied.

Last December, Michigan’s governor, Gretchen Whitmer, announced an impending update by Attorney General Dana Nessel regarding a criminal investigation into the Flint water crisis due in 2020.

“I think she has shown she’s taken it very seriously. These timelines we are bumping up against means that she’ll probably be making some announcements at the beginning of the year.”

You should be aware of the fact, though, generic viagra sales that most brands are of extremely poor quality.

Eight pending criminal cases related to the water crisis that resulted from three years of  examining the roots of the problem were dismissed last June by the state’s Solicitor General because of the need to review 20 million documents her office had uncovered with the Solicitor General saying that  “all available evidence was not pursued” by the previous team of prosecutors.

Those prosecutors had cut plea deals for seven officials that resulted in no jail time or criminal records.

Because of this legal mess, the Solicitor wants an extension of the statute of limitations in criminal misconduct cases brought against public officials from six to 10 years.

In early 2017 officials claimed that the water quality had returned to acceptable levels, but Flint residents and officials still expressed doubt about the cleanliness of the water in 2019, and there are still an estimated 2,500 lead service lines the city expects to finish replacing by July 2020.

But all of this in Flint and anywhere else can now simply go away.

If everyone’s water is of poor quality by the standards as they stand now, if those standards are changed or eliminated, everyone’s water quality is the same.

It’s all good.

And so the clean water rule had to go.
