Four more officials were charged Tuesday in connection with the Flint, Michigan, water crisis that resulted in a surge of lead poisoning among children.

Two former Michigan state emergency managers, Darnell Earley and Gerald Ambrose, face multiple 20-year felonies for failing to protect Flint citizens from health hazards caused by the contaminated drinking water, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette announced. Former city of Flint executives Howard Croft and Daugherty Johnson also face felony charges.

The effort by the state government to play politics with this shit and pin it all on the local officials is deplorable.

This level of negligence went straight to the top. Anything short of the Governor being impeached is absolutely insufficient, imo.

Good. Hopefully convictions are secured.

Yup they need someone to take the fall. And they're tossing it to the locals. Meanwhile the state government is still doing jack shit about it all.

Actually, this is good because these officials will be able to point out the errors that occurred at the top. Then again, I could see this just being a ploy and everyone gets pardoned by Snyder and Trump.

If anyone died from their negligence they should be punished accordingly.

Yup! Somebody's going to pay for this, but definitely not the shitheels on top. Fuck those pricks.
