FlintResidents are still being treated like absolute sh*t after it emerged that their subsidised water will be stopped and no one told them.

The Detroit Free Press reported that State officers had decided to end the program that’s been running since 2014 and has been helping residents pay for their contaminated water.

Word of the subsidies’ impending cutoff surfaced Thursday after a senior adviser to Gov. Rick Snyder sent a letter to Flint’s interim chief financial officer, saying the subsidies will stop after Feb. 28, according to a news release from the City of Flint.

The reaction of Flint’s mayor and other city officials was mild, characterizing the governor’s decision as a sign that the city’s water quality had improved although they stopped short of saying it was entirely safe. But vehement objections followed quickly from community leaders in Flint, as well as from critics of the state’s role in the water crisis including prominent Democratic Party politicians. All said the cutoff of subsidies was premature, and some said it was an example of Snyder trying to downplay the seriousness of the crisis.

Flint Mayor Karen Weaver issued a statement voicing concern at the abruptness of the cutoff but said it was a welcome sign that Flint’s water is improving.

“I am aware that the water quality in the City of Flint is improving and that is a good thing,” Weaver said, adding: “We knew the state’s assistance with these water-related expenses would come to an end at some point. I just wish we were given more notice so we at City Hall, and the residents, had more time to prepare for the changes.”

It just seems that time and time again Flint residents are getting screwed and I guess while the media are focused on Trump related actions people’s eyes are a little distracted from Flint.

Please share this news and make sure it gets out there and we can try and drum up a fuss and get the voices of Flint heard!
