Michigan AG to Announce Criminal Charges over Flint Water Crisis
----------------------------------------------------------------

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette is reportedly planning to
announce criminal charges for at least two officials involved in the
Flint water contamination crisis. The water crisis began when Flint's
unelected emergency manager, appointed by Governor Rick Snyder, switched
the source of the city's drinking water from the Detroit system to the
corrosive Flint River. The water corroded Flint's aging pipes, causing
poisonous levels of lead to leach into the drinking water.
