Short Answer: Please read the story on Page A1 "3 officials charge in Flint lead crisis"

What is your reaction to this story? This story pissed me off. I don't like that "the man" is not in jail. It's hard to take down someone in power, even when they do something that endangers thousands of people and families.
Did you know about this issue before reading this story? Yes, I've read about it before.
What should happen to the people who potentially knew that they were poisoning the people of Flint (including a lot of children)? A lot more than misdemeanor charges. These government officials should have been removed from office and detained immediately. No one in power should have had that information and let it go on for so long. I hope the people of Flint, Michigan get the safe drinking water they deserve, and hopefully the officials face jail time. 

If it expands to the governor or even further, should those people be held accountable the same as the rest of the accused city leaders? No, other people might've not been told about the issue, just like the rest of Flint. Not everyone should face severe punishment. An investigation into the staff is probably necessary.
