Who is supposed to spend a billion dollars on this failed city?

The NYT editorial board is utterly loony.

Fix Flint’s Water System, Now

The challenge now is to replace the corroded pipes or perhaps the whole water system in this city of nearly 100,000 as quickly as it can be done. 

The cost may reach $1 billion or more, but that cannot stand in the way of moving forward to make the city fit for habitation. 

No Americans should have to live with poisoned water that is a direct result of the government’s decisions and neglect.

And it's downhill from there.

How far is this lead scare analogous to global warming?

Pretty much a phony panic trumped up by the political left to empower their agenda, I mean.

Or in this case just to validate their narrative.

"Environmental racism," you know.
