The benefits of austerity & small govt are questionable at best. Flint has proven that & we’d all be wise to remember it. #FlintWaterCrisis

This GOP Congress has made undermining environmental and energy regulations one of its core missions. #FlintWaterCrisis

In the first 100 days, the 114th GOP Congress voted on more environmental and energy issues than any other topic... #FlintWaterCrisis

...& not a single one was aimed at protecting resources like the #FlintRiver from contamination that allowed its water to corrode lead pipes

Under @HouseGOP, our babies would choke on smog before we limit the amount of pollution a single smokestack can spew out. #FlintWaterCrisis

It took years to turn the #FlintRiver into the downright dangerous water source that has caused so many problems. #FlintWaterCrisis

But for other rivers, lakes, or streams there may still be time to repair or prevent the damage we’ve done. #FlintWaterCrisis

Flint should move us to strengthen, not weaken, our environmental protections. #FlintWaterCrisis
