As I read this story, I could recall all of the times older Flint residents have said that their families were pressuring them to move, sometimes to other states to live with their children. How do we keep our seniors safe when the criminals appear to be targeting many of them? They worked hard and accumulated possessions. Their neighborhoods are now in decline and their children often live far away.
The loss in population in Michigan means less revenue sharing for Michigan. Michigan is facing a huge deficit which probably could transfer into less revenue sharing for Flint and less general fund dollars. These eneral fund dollars pay for public safety.
With less federal aid comes fewer CDBG funds and other funding that can be used to repair and stabilize the homes of our poorest seniors. These seniors can become increasingly isolated.
