After Adam's
#FlintWaterCrisis town hall outburst drew got publicity, Baird met w/ him. He said he'd try to get MI to fund a "pilot program" for Adam's medical treatment & make it available to other residents if Adam improved. He did improve but it wasn't made available to otherspic.twitter.com/XokL9GbC8iShow this thread -
We confirmed the state did pay for Adam's medical treatment---which Baird told Adam and his then-wife Christina not to disclose to anyone. But in discussions with other Flint residents, Baird falsely said he was paying for Adam's treatment "out of his own personal pocket"...pic.twitter.com/4Aod1KIzOZ

We discovered that Baird met with a Flint resident, Bruce Stiers, a longtime construction worker who had been carrying a corroded, water-ravaged pipe around town & to public town halls. Baird asked Bruce if he can borrow the pipe to "show experts." Baird never gave it back...pic.twitter.com/6lF1YNNNnx
