Michigan Prosecutor Opens Probe of Flint Water Crisis

It made the msm.

Michigan's top prosecutor launched an investigation Friday into the Flint water crisis to see if any laws were broken — as the local sheriff declared that "people lied to us."

"In 21st century America, no one should have to fear something as basic as turning on the kitchen faucet," Attorney General Bill Schuette said in a statement.

"I look forward to working with federal, state and local officials, community leaders and Flint residents as we seek answers regarding state law and hope through the process we can help restore some of the trust in our government while helping families move forward."

Federal prosecutors are already probing the debacle that has exposed nearly everyone in the city of 99,000 to lead poisoning and other contaminants. The state Health Department has just started investigating whether an increase of Legionnaires' disease cases — seven of them fatal — could be linked to the crisis.
