After months of delay and denial by state officials, action is being taken over lead in the water supply in the Michigan city of Flint. But residents say it s too little, too late.
While visiting nearby Detroit this week, President Barack Obama addressed the disaster that has left Flint s nearly 100,000 residents without safe tap water and at risk of lead poisoning. If I was a parent out there I would be beside myself that my kids health could be at risk, President Obama said on Wednesday, adding that he had signed an emergency declaration over the weekend authorising federal aid for Flint.
