This letter was sent to the People’s Tribune in response to the article in the September 2015 edition entitled, “Judge drops bomb on illegal water rate hikes in Flint, MI.
FLINT, MI — Our water bill has tripled since we moved to Flint, MI. We lived in Grand Blanc, MI and our water bill was way less, and for clean water! Not triple for dirty, contaminated filth! Now we pay more in one month than we did every three months in Grand Blanc! And did I mention it was clean water, useable water! We’re over charged for filth we are forced to use, and expose ourselves and children to lead and other nasty things! What kind of city mayor does this to his people? Who? What is this!
