Amid denials, state workers in Flint got clean water

In January of 2015, when state officials were telling worried Flint residents their water was safe to drink, they also were arranging for coolers of purified water in Flint's State Office Building so employees wouldn't have to drink from the taps, according to state government e-mails released Thursday by the liberal group Progress Michigan.

I got turned on to this story on the Rachel Maddow show tonight. She showed video of a town meeting on 1/15/15 where the officials were telling furious citizens waving jugs of brown water that their tap water was fit to drink, and to just "hang in there".

That wascally Wachel!
