  • Annotated Flint Water Crisis Timeline 2009 2010
    Annotated Flint Water Crisis Timeline *Enclosed Document ^Referenced in Documentary 2009 February o Michael Brown serves as Temporary Mayor.^ August o Dayne Walling elected as Mayor.^ September Preliminary Engineering Report Lake Huron Water Supply Karegnondi Water Authority*^ o The third study of the Karegnondi Water Authority (KWA) plan. Prior reports were in 1992 and 2006. This report was meant to study 2 alternatives, continuing purchase of water from Detroit Water and Sewage Department (DWSD) or to build a new pipeline to supply raw water from Lake Huron. o This report clearly states the differences between raw and treated water, and explains in detail the construction costs needed to upgrade Flint’s Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in order to properly treat water. o Additionally, in Appendix 7, the report mentions the lead and copper program and corrosion control requirements, even including the chemical composition of orthophosphate. o An upgrade to the WTP of approximately $7 million would be required in order for the plant to properly treat water on a continuous basis. o These upgrades are necessary to destroy bacteria, viruses, and prevent waterborne disease. Note: At the time of the inception of the KWA, the requirements of treating raw water, upgrades needed to be done for the WTP to properly treat water, and cost estimates of DWSD being more cost effective than the KWA were clear and known to at least two persons, Drain County Commissioner Jeff Wright and Mayor Walling. Both of whom had clear legal, ethical, and patriotic duty to the citizens of Flint as their elected representatives.

  • Aow 1516 21 Flint Water Crisis
    1. Mark your confusion. 2. Show evidence of a close reading. 3. Write a 1+ page reflection. How Tap Water Became Toxic in Flint, Michigan By Sara Ganim and Linh Tran for CNN, January 13, 2016 Flint, Michigan, lies about 70 miles from the shores of the largest group of fresh water bodies in the world: the Great Lakes. Yet its residents can't get clean water from their taps. Nearly two years ago, the state decided to save money by switching Flint's water supply from Lake Huron (which they were paying the city of Detroit for), to the Flint River, a notorious tributary that runs through town known to locals for its filth. "We thought it was a joke," said Rhonda Kelso, a long-time Flint resident. "People my age and older, thought 'They're not going to do that.' " The switch was made during a financial state of emergency for the ever-struggling industrial town. It was supposed to be temporary while a new state-run supply line to Lake Huron was ready for connection. The project was estimated to take about two years. What's in the water? Soon after the switch, the water started to look, smell and taste funny. Residents said it often looked dirty. "The water would come in brown and my daughter was like 'Mom ... why is the water brown?' " Kelso thought it was sewage, but it was actually iron. The Flint River is highly corrosive: 19 times more so than the Lake Huron supply, according to researchers from Virginia Tech. According to a class-action lawsuit, the state Department of Environmental Quality wasn't treating the Flint River water with an anti-corrosive agent, in violation of federal law.

    © 2016 Ashley Elizabeth Nickels ALL RIGHTS RESERVED POWER, POLITCS, AND PARTICIPATION: THE IMPACT OF MUNICIPAL TAKEOVER ON LOCAL DEMOCRACY By ASHLEY ELIZABETH NICKELS A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Camden Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Public Affairs Written under the direction of Richard A. Harris And approved by _____________________________________ Richard A. Harris _____________________________________ Lorraine C. Minnite _____________________________________ Brandi Blessett Camden, New Jersey May, 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Power, Politics, and Participation: The Impact of Municipal Takeover on Local Democracy by ASHLEY ELIZABETH NICKELS Dissertation Director: Richard A. Harris This research focused on the ways in which municipal takeovers reshape local democracy, not only by suspending representative government, but disrupting the existing order and creating opportunities and incentives that shift power in the local political system. The primary question that guided this research was: how, through its implementation, does municipal takeover policy reshape local democracy? Drawing from a constructivist- institutionalist framework, I found that the tools and strategies designed by the state to fix a local government’s fiscal health have both instrumental and symbolic effects, which restructured who, and by what means residents, groups, and organizations, participated politically. To answer the question about how municipal takeover policy reshapes local democracy and to identify the causal mechanisms that explain how municipal takeover can alter the local political system, this project utilized a policy-centered case study of Flint, Michigan, a city most recently in the news for lead contamination in its water.

  • Deindustrialization and Political Identity: a Case Study of Residents in Flint, Michigan
    DEINDUSTRIALIZATION AND POLITICAL IDENTITY: A CASE STUDY OF RESIDENTS IN FLINT, MICHIGAN A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master's of Arts in Communication, Culture and Technology By Nancy Alamy, B.A. Washington, DC April 24, 2012 Copyright 2012 by Nancy Alamy All Rights Reserved ii DEINDUSTRIALIZATION AND POLITICAL IDENTITY: A CASE STUDY OF RESIDENTS IN FLINT, MICHIGAN Nancy S. Alamy, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Diana M. Owen, PhD. ABSTRACT As we approach the 2012 Presidential election, more focus is being paid to Michigan as a potential swing state, despite its recent history as a solidly Democrat leaning stronghold. In past years Michigan has largely held these leanings due to its urban areas that have been the hardest hit by deindustrialization—Detroit, Lansing, Pontiac, Saginaw, and Flint. This paper looks specifically at the latter—Flint, Michigan in determining how prolonged economic troubles have affected the political attitudes of its residents. Through survey analysis I find that the ideology of Flint's residents lean decidedly progressive across generational, economic, and educational distinctions. This paper offers a contextualization of these leanings in the broader perspective of the contemporary political environment of the city, and examines the implications of the rampant population loss currently underway from Michigan's urban centers. iii For Lucas, my sweet boy. I could not have written this thesis without the guidance and support of many people, and so I would like to take this opportunity to thank them here.

  • DAYNE WALLING, FORMER MAYOR of the CITY of FLINT, MICHIGAN Submitted March 11, 2016
    U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Examining Federal Administration of the Safe Drinking Water Act in Flint, MI, Part II Tuesday, March 15, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. 2154 Rayburn House Office Building TESTIMONY OF DAYNE WALLING, FORMER MAYOR OF THE CITY OF FLINT, MICHIGAN Submitted March 11, 2016 Dear Mr. Chairman Chaffetz, Mr. Ranking Minority Member Cummings and the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform: Thank you for the opportunity to present testimony and to be invited to the hearing titled, “Examining Federal Administration of the Safe Drinking Water Act in Flint, MI, Part II.” The drinking water crisis in Flint is a catastrophe that has had, and continues to have, a devastating effect on our families, our most vulnerable children and seniors, our schools, neighborhoods, businesses and the entire community. Flint is a strong city and I know it will survive and with the right support it will thrive, but it never should have suffered in this situation. As a father raising my own family in Flint, I am deeply concerned for the children and all people who have been affected. It is important that support and opportunities are provided to Flint’s residents, the damaged public infrastructure systems, and the community as a whole. I appreciate the Committee’s efforts to identify what went wrong and why. Tragically for our community there were opportunities missed and dismissed that would have averted the water crisis. The recommendations I made, along with the Flint City Council and many other elected officials, community and faith leaders and activists were discounted by the emergency managers and Governor Snyder going back more than a year.
