Read the articles and news reports (located in your content section) about the water fiasco of Flint, Michigan. You are also welcome to find other articles to support your discussion.) Then answer these questions:
1. What, in your opinion, was the first thing that the city did incorrectly? Then, what was the most critical of their mistakes, or were they the same? What process, committees, or other safeguards could have improved the city's decision making?
2. Is your own local city (or county) at the risk of making this type of bad decision? Why or why not? Providing evidence for your opinion strengthens your post. You can share a link to your own cities' budget or financial reports, if they have such a link, or explain and support your opinion with facts or figures that you find. You can also choose some other city, if you are more interested in them than in your own local city.

5. If you could not get drinkable water out of your tap, would you be able to adjust to that issue? Do citizens have a right to clean water and clean air at any cost? Why or why not? If not, then what is the role that government is supposed to play at the local, county, and state level?
