Independent Probe Pins Blame On State Officials (12h 53min, mar 23, 2016 y – 13h 44min, oct 21, 2016 y)
Description:
Supporting its preliminary conclusion, the task force charged with investigating the causes of the Flint water crisis says in its final report that the MDEQ bears primary responsibility. Task force member Chris Kolb tells reporters:
"From a regulatory standpoint, to a protection of human health and the environment standpoint, they missed the boat completely. And it is extremely troublesome to me that an agency whose primary role, once again, is to protect human health and the environment came to these decisions, and they never backed off these decisions, no matter how many red flags they saw."
Others are also to blame, the report says, including the state's Department of Health and Human Services, the city's emergency managers and the governor.
