We don't need the entire Flint Water Crisis article here, but it seems somebody is removing literally every sentence that doesn't mention Walling.

For example, in the second sentence was removed here:

:Despite reassurances from officials, investigations revealed Flint's new water supply to be extremely corrosive and contain levels of lead high enough to meet the EPA's definition of toxic waste.[19][20] Doctors voiced concern that those exposed may suffer permanent and lifelong injury and will need to be tracked for years to measure the full scale of the damage.[21]

The "Despite reassurances from officials" is meant to modify both sentences. Both are relevant to Walling in the same way. Which sentence we attach the modifier to is simply a matter of preference.

:Because, the first sentence is sufficient. The second sentence is just repeating the first in another way. The declaration by Hurley doctors & the Health Department makes Walling do an about face about the safety of the water issue. Placing it in the article as is unbalanced and piling on with out his response to it. State and federal declarations follow the mayor's declaration. Where is the article sentence at least that he changed his support for the Flint River water? You are acting like no one can click through to the Flint water crisis article to get the details, despite your statement. Spshu (talk) 13:38, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
