Flint Mayor Writes Letter Of Solidarity To San Juan Mayor

Description

The mayor of Flint, Michigan, still enduring a polluted-water crisis, sent a letter of solidarity to the mayor of hurricane-battered San Juan, Puerto Rico, this week in which she commiserated over their treatment by the government and bashed President Donald Trump. Flint Mayor Karen Weaver wrote to San Juan Mayor Yulin Cruz, "I am utterly disappointed and outraged by the lack of active engagement and support from this administration during the recent visit." Weaver said she felt a "special sisterhood" with Cruz because both women felt forced to publicly challenge the federal government to do more to help their communities.
