FLINT (CCN) — Flint's city water supply came under scrutiny at Monday's (Aug. 22, 2022) Flint City Council meeting when a community activist sounded the alarm that the water is bad again.
Community activist Arthur Woodson was called to the podium twice by 6th Ward City Councilwoman Tonya Burns to answer questions about alleged Legionaires cases at two homes.
An official from the EPA also visited Flint on Monday and praised Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley's administration for getting a back-up system in place to avoid problems after a recent water main break on Detroit's Great Lakes Water Authority system in Oakland County.
Woodson slammed Neeely on several occasions, however, during a radio show appearance on Wednesday (Aug. 24, 2022). Woodson told The Morning Gazette Radio Show that water is stagnant in areas where few people live.
"It's causing problems and it needs attention," Woodson said.
Eva Worthing, Flint's 9th Ward City Councilwoman, was critical of Burns and Woodson for "alarming" residents and stressed that the water is safe. "He's not an expert," she said of Woodson. "What are his credentials?"

FLINT (CCN) — A City of Flint Police Department official announced today (Aug. 23, 2022) that the liquor license at Cheers Market has been revoked.
It happened after a hearing of the Michigan Liquor Control Commission, following a petition by the City of Flint Police Department. Clerks at Cheers were cited four times for selling alcohol to under-age minors.
Cheers was targeted for closure last year by former 8th Ward City Councilman Allan Griggs who was unable to get his colleagues on the council to go along with his push to close the party store.
The store has been the site of large gatherings outside late at night.
“This is just another example of the Flint Police Department taking residents’ issues seriously,” Detective Tyrone Booth said. “We will continue to investigate and bring action against businesses that are not operating within the guidelines of the law.”
The FPD opened an investigation based on many community complaints alleging that Cheers Market has been selling alcohol to minors. The investigation determined the complaints to be true after conducting several controlled buys with underage individuals who were able to purchase alcohol from Cheers Market. As a result, the Flint Police Department petitioned the Michigan Liquor Control Commission to revoke Cheers Market’s liquor license.
“Businesses that sell alcohol to minors not only violate the law, but they damage the fabric of our community,” said Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley.
“It takes a village to raise a child, and it’s everyone’s responsibility to look out for the health and safety of our youth," Mayor Neeley added. "Businesses that put profit before community welfare are not welcome here.”
Cheers Market is located on Flint's west side at 2809 W Court St. The business can remain open and sell other items, but they can no longer sell any items with alcohol content.

A couple of pot heads with no boat set out with a plan to kidnap and kill our governor. Now, they face up to life in prison.
Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. were convicted in the FBI-aided plot. Two others were acquitted in the case while two others pleaded guilty.

A couple of pot heads with no boat set out with a plan to kidnap and kill our governor. Now, they face up to life in prison.
Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. were convicted in the FBI-aided plot. Two others were acquitted in the case while two others pleaded guilty.
Fox and Croft got off on a mistrial the first time federal authorities tried to put them in jail. They won a conviction in the re-trial that has made national news.
Fox's Tucker Carlson featured the case last week when pointing out how the FBI railroaded these two clowns. Nobody in their group had any money when an undercover FBI agent got them interested in the idea of kidnapping Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
They didn't like it that she shut down Michigan's economy during COVID.
Their FBI friends chipped in some money for these broke bums to toy with the idea of how to kidnap and kill Whitmer. The big plan was to do some surveillance at her house, grab her, transport her to their boat, then drive out to the middle of the lake and drown her.
First, of course, they needed a boat. And gas to get to Big Gretch's house.
Entrapment maybe? Well, absolutely.
But do we really want nut jobs like Fox and Croft out in society? If their new FBI friends could talk them into such a plot, do we really want them around us? Not me.
Had they ran into a non-FBI crowd with a boat and money to carry out such a plot, Governor Grech might be at the bottom of a lake.
