It’s about time someone were held accountable for this tragedy that we call Flint's Water Crisis. This was a man-made disaster fueled by cheapskate Republicans who were only focused on the money involved.
FLINT, Mich. (AP) — A judge on Monday ordered Michigan’s health director to stand trial for involuntary manslaughter in two deaths linked to Legionnaires’ disease in the Flint area, the highest-ranking official to face criminal charges as a result of the city’s tainted water scandal.
Nick Lyon is accused of failing to issue a timely alert about the outbreak. District Court Judge David Goggins said deaths likely could have been prevented if the outbreak had been publicly known. He said keeping the public in the dark was “corrupt.”
When the judge announced his decision, a woman in the gallery said, “Yes, yes, yes.”
