Given the threat of ongoing lead exposure and the community’s well-founded mistrust of government, should families be offered at least temporary resettlement while upgrades, repairs and enhancements are made to Flint’s badly contaminated water infrastructure?
I ask this fully aware of how unprecedented and complex such a policy would be. After all, some 9,000 young children may have been exposed to contaminated water.

Personally, I'd prefer a wegmans or Maines over Bezos. Take advantage of exg food networks versus making a new on with a name. Not to mention I'm sure there must be a local bottled water service. Let them "benefit."
Regardless, 100 per person, vs. 150 per household. At a glance, it sounds like a good deal, but add 2 teens. And what about food prep and dish cleaning? And that just killed the local coffee shops, and restaurants.
If it's a private solution, perhaps we should be looking at Budweiser/St. Louis for solutions as well.
