Flint Water Crisis: charges against 3 low level employees

http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/20/health/flint-water-crisis-charges/

Please let this be an opening gambit that leads to the arrest of the real power players in this tragedy. I find it hard to impossible to believe a criminal conspiracy stops with these relatively low level civil employees.

But I can imagine they were pressured by those in a position to profit from their illegal risk taking.

If it stops there, there is no real justice.

If it's a pressure tactic then we'll and good.

.... that they were not ready to go online with the Flint water and appears to have been pressured (forced) to proceed.
