Bernie and Erin Brockovich: Flint is what happens when ‘reckless’ public officials put dollars before people

Writing as guests in the Detroit Free Press, Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders joined with environmental activist Erin Brockovich to caution that the water crisis that has devastated Flint, Michigan is just the tip of the iceberg nationally because lawmakers and public officials put money before safety.

“The situation in Flint is what happens when public officials who, in their reckless zeal to slash government spending, jeopardize the health and well-being of the residents they are entrusted with keeping safe,” they wrote.

Brockovich recently appeared on Bill Maher’s Real Time where she was more blunt, blaming America’s crumbling infrastructure that put citizens at risk on “corrupt politics and f*cking greed,” before adding that “it has to stop!”
