not. we shift our focus to that on going flint water crisis. just there was my colleague msnbc rachel maddow reporting on the con tame nation to the water supply. michigan officials tapped the flint river for the city s watter in 2014 but they never treated the water to reduce kroe corrosion. lead from old plumbing seeped in and that made the water 19 times more corrosive than water from nearby lake huron which is what detroit is using. some experts linked this water to legionnaires disease, a type of pneumonia caused by bacteria. there were 100 cases in the flint area causing 12 deaths in 2014 and 2015 alone. experts also link that tainted watter to lead poisoning in children and only filter tap the water be consumed out there which anger md who say they don t trust their local officials. i can t allow my daughter to sit in that water s that what you re telling me? is that what you re telling me? it s okay to mut my daughter in that water?
dr. sinks, if you had been on these bases and known about the con tame nation would you have felt comfortable drinking that water? i personally would have been using different water. i m told that officials waited years before they identified the contaminated wells and then closed them down in 1985. who was in charge then at camp lejeune? all the officials at camp lejeune would have been in charge just like they are today. general dickerson, why is the o.d. not notified those residents at camp lejeune that they may have been exposed to tce or pce? don t you think you have a responsibility to let these people know they may have been exposed? yes, sir. why don t you do it? that would be a very difficult and laborious task.
