looks the state is dropping the ball

Michigan has declared the Flint water crisis an emergency — but the state has not yet provided bottled water even though lead levels are still high.

Churches and other organizations have been left to fill the gap. A local sheriff who began distributing filters on his own discovered two out of three homes visited did not have them yet.

The Rev. Bobby Jackson of the Mission of Hope has handed out hundreds of bottles of free water to people coming from all over Flint on bikes and on foot because they can't afford to buy their own.

"It's all come from donations," he told NBC News.

check and mate!

Read the police and other "state officials" are going to start going door to door handing out water and filters, think the governor is going to be on the list?

Glad to see they are doing something. We are fortunate to be on a well, but there are a lot of people with city water even up near us...
