Only took, what, 6 years? And still nobody has been held accountable?

6 years does feel too long, but it does seem like a case is still making its way through the courts. The former governor (and other officials) just had charges against them announced a few weeks ago: https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/14/us/michigan-flint-water-forme...

Are you moving the goalposts here? You seemed to be bemoaning that things don’t get fixed after a single crisis (n=1), not that fixes are good but move slowly. Flint got fixed.

Also other cities won't upgrade their infrastructure until they have an equally public event, at which point it'd be too late.

Currently the case is ongoing and up to 9 face charges: https://www.npr.org/2021/01/14/956924155/ex-michigan-gov-ric...

To be fair, public works projects (especially replacing pipes and water treatment facilities) takes a long time.

The government drags it's feet as much as possible when it comes to holding the government accountable.

I think it's surprising it's even going to trial.
