Re: Request for the prosecution and a thorough federal investigation into the individuals for their

individual criminal responsibility for the Flint, Michigan water disaster

Honorable Attorney General Loretta Lynch,

My name is Isaiah X. Smith and I am sending the United States Department of Justice this letter for the

purpose of requesting a federal investigation and the prosecution into officials that are or were

employed by the State of Michigan for their individual criminal responsibility regarding the Flint,

Michigan water disaster.

The Flint water disaster incident started when the City of Flint, Michigan changed the water source that

people received water from. The drinking water source that the City of Flint, Michigan switched the

source of water that people drink from became contaminated and contained a poisonousness lead

substance which thus created a serious public health emergency disaster. The contaminated water has

affected approximately 6,000 to 12,000 individuals and has caused an enormous amount of damage tothe health of people.

The contaminated water that children and adults were and are drinking is extremely concerning and

dangerous. According to the World Health Organization in regards to lead poisoning and children, lead

affects childrens brain development resulting in reduced intelligence quotient (IQ), behavioral changes

such as shortening of attention span and increased antisocial behavior, and reduced educational

attainment. Lead exposure also causes anemia, hypertension, renal impairment, immunotoxicity and

toxicity to the reproductive organs. The neurological and behavioral effects of lead are believed to be

irreversible.

Making a political move is not why I am asking the United States Department of Justice to conduct a

thorough federal investigation into this incident but because of the deliberate indifference with regards

to government officials with the State of Michigan who had a responsibility as to addressing that issue

but failed to do so. Officials knew about the dangerous emergency situation that was going on and failed

to serve and protect the public from harm. Officials with the State of Michigan also tried to cover up

their wrongdoing and have not taken responsibility for their actions. Therefore those individuals are

responsible for the Flint, Michigan water disaster and they should be held accountable for their actions

under the law.

Respectfully,
