The Flint Water Crisis

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schutte announced charges against Stephen Bush and Michael Prizbe, two state officials at the MDEQ. All three were faced with felony charges, including misconduct, neglect of duty, and conspiracy to tamper with evidence. It was alleged that Bush and Prizbe instructed Glasgow to discard the two lead samples so the city would remain within the acceptable tolerance. That July, six more state officials were charged with similar crimes.
