Crisis Goes Beyond Flint

摘要

We've just witnessed a massive public health disaster in which the residents of Flint, Mich., including every one of 8,000 children, have been exposed to lead in the city's drinking water. The communal response, which initially was muted, is now much louder because President Obama declared a state of emergency, some demanded that prosecutors file charges against Michigan's governor, and Hillary Clinton referred to Flint's crisis during the last Democratic Party presidential election debate. The issue continues to make headlines in national news media.
