How Officials Distorted Flint’s Water Testing; New York Times, 4/21/16

Josh Keller and Derek Watkins, New York Times; How Officials Distorted Flint’s Water Testing:
"Local and state officials claimed for months that tests showed that Flint’s water had safe levels of lead. But the officials used flawed testing methods, making the levels of lead in the water supply appear far less dangerous than they were.
Three of those officials were charged with crimes on Wednesday, accused of covering up glaring deficiencies in two rounds of lead testing conducted in 2014 and 2015."
