It seems the disgusting behavior and utter lack of care for citizens in Flint, Michigan is still very much happening as the government continue a terror campaign against citizens trying to make them pay for water that is contaminated with lead and in many cases unusable for drinking.

In the case of 76-year-old Mary Huddleston Vox wrote:

In December, the city of Flint, Michigan, installed a new water meter in her house, and when the first reading came back, Huddleston was told she’d been undercharged and now owed the city $1,090.09 in back payments.

“They just said they’d been undercharging me because they’d been estimating it for all that time,” said Huddleston, a 76-year-old widow. “But how’s that my fault?”

Vox also wrote:

In March, the city of Flint issued shutoff notices to 31 residents who owe between $2,000 and $5,600 in water bills. And this week, the city threatened to terminate water services for more than 8,000 people who haven’t paid their bill in over six months. The city has said it will place tax liens against people’s homes (or throw thousands of people into foreclosure) if they don’t pay by May 19.

Why the sudden and widespread crackdown? The reason is that Flint is no longer receiving financial assistance from the state to help pay its water bills. And city officials are now desperately looking to residents to pick up the tab.

This is truly disgusting. These residents did not ask for corruption that may have led to illness in the community they didn’t ask for.
