Failing Flint

For most of us the Flint Crisis is a one off--a perfect storm of inadvertence, incompetence and inattention.  Unfortunately, it is an extreme example of a systemic Republican flaw.  The GOP is anti-science.

A broad swath of the party shuns evolution and ridicules climate change.  Environmental impact studies are regulatory choke points that strangle free enterprise.  No Democratic governor would have changed the tap water without first tapping expert analysis.

The Republican let it flow philosophy damned the children of Flint.
