Hi,
For months Status Coup has been reporting that Michigan state officials cheated on the water lead testing in Flint. You can read our original story, from November. Essentially, state officials were instructing residents to let the water run before sampling for lead and were even doing so themselves. This is against EPA regulations and leads to inaccurate results—therefore NO ONE knows what the lead levels actually are in Flint.
We've fought tooth and nail to get this information out there, to get national outlets to pick the story up, and... crickets. Crickets apart from those like Alyssa Milano and Congressman Ro Khanna, who called for early action.
Well, that all changed last night. Last night, the governor confirmed our reporting that they were illegally letting the water run. Watch Jordan's #BREAKING reporting on this:
