Yeah those types of second order problems are really tough in low-intelligence bureaucracies. 1/ Lead is good for pipes!, 2/ lead is bad for health!, 3/ ok we've ripped out half the pipes but it turns out that when we control the mineral mix in the water we can mitigate the lead contamination from pipes that are hard to replace, 4/ let's do something cheaper and not do any due diligence and forget that 3 was done some time ago.

5/ because it's only poor blacks anyway.
Who didn’t maintain the pipes properly? Was it a different group of people taking advantage somehow, or was it that same group? Just curious, as I see this brought up a lot, but it seems like the government is probably made up of the same demographics as the area?
Famously not so in Flint.
Who are you referring to?
