A Full Third Of Flint’s Emergency $390 Million Water Funds Did Not Go To Clean Water. Out of $390 million, $129 million was spent on what we’d term social justice programs and payoffs to Governor Rick Snyder’s cronies at Uptown Reinvestment Corp.
Money from a state water grant was used to bring “a youth basketball league back to the city after a fifteen-year absence,” according to the book “The Poisoned City.”
State water-crisis money has been providing free daycare for children ages 3 and under in the city, even though none of them were alive or in utero during the primary water crisis, a state spokesman acknowledged. The city switched from the problematic water supply in October 2015.
