It's shameful how Michiganders all over the Great Lakes state do not have access to safe drinking water. Flint is the best known and worst to date tragedy, but it's not the only one. This book laid out the crisis from the birth of Flint to present day, and it helped me get a clear picture of what happened and how it was covered up. This isn't just a story about how prominent leaders and government failed Flint residents; it's a warning that Flint's crisis isn't an anomaly. All local, state and federal governments need to prioritize replacing old lead pipes so that citizens have access to clean water. Look to Madison and Lansing for examples of how that can be accomplished.
