"Black Caucus Demands Flint Funding From GOP"

"The Congressional Black Caucus is berating GOP leaders for not including funding for Flint, Mich., in the latest government spending bill unveiled this week.

Leaders of the caucus wrote to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Friday demanding new money in this week’s bill for Flint’s longstanding water crisis.

'With funding for Flint omitted from the continuing resolution, it’s clear: minority and low-income communities are not even the slightest priority for our Republican-led Congress,' Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) wrote in a statement Friday."
