3 Officials Charged in Flint Lead Crisis:
I've heard a good amount about the situation in flint, and every time it makes me very irritated and mad. I find that it makes no sense that nobody in the government did anything to fix the problem, thats literally their only job, to keep the citizens safe and healthy. Yet they weren't even able to supply drinkable water. I have heard stories of peoples hair coming out after taking showers in flint, as well as the water being so dark you couldn't see through it, and that just by turning on the sink the house then smells horrible. So my opinion is that yes, the people who knew their actions had bad consequences should absolutely be held accountable, no doubt about it. And when it does spread up the governmental tree of corruption, which it will, they should be held accountable too. Just because someone is in the government doesn't mean they don't have to follow the laws of their government. So if the governor is to blame, then put him in a prison. Sounds harsh, but supplying people with water that could kill them, and has too many side affects to count, is even harsher in my opinion.
