ORIGINAL: Phydeaux Gee what a surprise. Mayor of flint redirected charity donors to her re-election fund. https://www.yahoo.com/news/lawsuit-accuses-flint-mayor-trying-redirect-water-crisis-004515702.html What party was the mayor? Democrat, of course. Come on, Phydeaux. She's been accused, not found guilty. At this point, it's just hearsay, unless there is hard evidence that hasn't been shared with the public. She gets her day in court, too. When the wheels of justice more and more are corrupted by political favoritism, the presumption of innocence will matter less and less. Besides, my point is not whether one individual politician is guilty. My points are a). Flint, like detroit, was run as a corrupt democrat fiefdom for the benefit of democrat politicians and at the expense of the people that actually live there. b). The hypocritical lefties on here will only condemn republicans. Vincent, Lucy, Mnotter etc. are all to happy to condemn a republican governor. But when democrats are indicted - suddenly they are silent. Proof that they use the poisoning of innocents solely for political gain - and that is repugnant. c). Frankly Des - I find your willingness to sit on the sidelines and not investigate the facts and take a stand weak. All it takes for evil to flourish is good men to do nothing. d). I'm lambasted here as a heartless republican. When the truth I'm not a republican, I base my opinions on facts, I care more about people than the people here that are only out to benefit the dim party. In sympathy to your point, I'd like to say that every person has the right to negotiate the most they can get for their labor. If that is through a union, good on them. Unions are supposed to negotiate for the benefit of its members, doing so is not bad on them. But, the reason we elect officials is to represent all people. When those elected officials take money from unions an then give them favorable negotiation terms that damage the average citizen, then the system is broken.
