And we begin tonight with those criminal charges in flint, michigan. Three government officials accused of betraying the people they were supposed to be protecting. Triggering one of the worst Public Health crisis in recent years. The trouble stemming from the decision to switch the source of the citys Drinking Water to save money.

On the ballot in all of those races. The last election in which mike fellows ran was this last one we held in november. Montana is one of seven states in the country that has only one member of congress for the whole state. Every state has two u. S. Senators, but there are seven states in the country that have such small populations they only have one representative in the house, and montana is one of those states, current member of congress is republican congressman ryan zinke. This past November Mike fellows ran as the libertarian candidate against ryan zinke for congress, and nobody thinks that mike fellows had a shot at unseating this incumbent congressman, but it still had a really big political impact on the state of montana, when mike fellows unexpectedly died in the leadup to the election.

But one of the practical nuts and bolts and indeed financial consequences of mike fellows dying right before that election, after he had qualified for the libertarian line on the ballot in that Congressional Election is that it cost counties across montana a lot of money for that election.

That term. Abc this morning, i dont watch it much, but im watching in the morning. They have a Little George stephanopoulos and theyre talking about the speech i made last night, which believe it or not, had great reviews. They had a hard time. The only people giving a platform to these hate groups is the media itself and the fake news. I spoke out forcefully against hatred, bigotry, and violence and strongly condemned the neo nazis, the white supremacist, and the kkk. It is finally time to rebuild our country, to take care of our people and to fight for the jobs our Great American workers deserve and thats what were doing. [cheers and applause] melissa alecia q mills is reporting live from reno. Whats the reaction like today . Hi melissa. You can imagine its quite extreme on both sides.

Strassman good evening, im Mark Strassman, reporting tonight from houston, texas. Harvey, the most powerful hurricane to hit this state since john f. Kennedy was president , is now a massive Tropical Storm. It is expected to churn over Southeast Texas well into the week, dumping more than four feet of rain on areas including houston. In a tweet, the National Weather service said the breadth and intensity of this rainfall are beyond anything experienced before. More than a thousand people were rescued here today from flooded cars, homes, and businesses. Many had to scramble to rooftops to escape.
