(FLINT) Mayor Karen Weaver says Flint may sue the state over ending state-funded bottled water for city residents.
Weaver says the governor told her “to get over it”.
It was a good discussion about the city and state’s continued partnership, and an offer for economic development help, since the Mayor brought the city’s new economic development official with her to the meeting.
Again in January it was considered to stop funding free bottled water, and again the Governor consented to allow them to remain open.
They remained open a full seven months past when the state could have ceased funding them.
But that didn’t happen and it appears there’s new bad blood between the two.
On Tuesday it moves to Asbury UMC, then on Thursday to Greater Holy Temple COGIC.
People who waited in line today at Bethel Church were united in their feeling the state should pay for bottled water in Flint.
The governor needs to get over it.
Weaver feels the water should be supplied at least until all the pipes have been replaced.
