One of them just said he has never in his career done an investigation that has effected him the way this one has and he went on to give examples of why and he talked about the little kids who had been lead poisoned. Sad Sad Sad. Those involved in the coverup are going to pay a very high price, as they should!
Six more state employees were criminally charged this morning in connection with the Flint water crisis, bringing the total to 9.
Snip:
Charged are Michigan Department of Health and Human Services workers Nancy Peeler, Corinne Miller and Robert Scott, and Michigan Department of Environmental Quality employees Leanne Smith; Adam Rosenthal and Patrick Cook.
In April, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette announced felony charges against two Michigan Department of Environmental Quality officials and one City of Flint official. At that time, he promised more criminal charges would be forthcoming.
The city employee, Mike Glasgow, pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor and is cooperating with the investigation as other charges were dropped. The two DEQ employees, Stephen Busch and Mike Prysby, are awaiting preliminary examinations.

Today's press conference by the prosecutor's office made it very clear that there was a major cover-up involved.
It still really pisses me off. Those charged are officials who were working for government agencies designed to protect people from health and environmental risks.
Not only did those officials fail in that charter; they were allegedly complicit in increasing and prolonging the health risks to the people of Flint.
