Ex-Emergency Managers, City Executives Charged In Flint Water Crisis
FLINT (WWJ) – Four more people are facing criminal charges in the Flint water investigation.
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette on Tuesday charged two former State of Michigan Emergency Managers, Darnell Earley and Gerald Ambrose, with multiple 20-year felonies for their failure to protect the citizens of Flint from health hazards caused by contaminated drinking water.
“The crisis in Flint was a casualty of arrogance, disdain and a failure of management. An absence of accountability,” Scheutte said in a statement. “We will proceed to deliver justice and hold those accountable who broke the law.”
