thanks for c-span. my question is why is there no criminal liability being assessed against the emergency manager appointed by governor rick snyder who switched the water supply from lake huron to the flint river? and all this talk about the epa to me seems to be a smokescreen once again to try to blame the president and people in washington for actions taken by state officials that are only concerned with one thing and that's money. thank you. >> well, regardless of what you think about the emergency manager and personally, i'm not in favor of the emergency manager, i think it's un-american, but the reality is if you look at this from a science and engineering perspective, the emergency manager is not someone who makes decision about corrosion control. all of these problems are related to the fact that a state civil servant at mdq did not follow federal law. they did not require the corrosion control to be put in the water. and all these problems, the leaks, the lead, the legionella, came from that fac

i am a c-span and pbs junkie. mostly c-span. who are you voting for in st. louis?voted yet? caller: i have not. i'm not sure who to vote for. it is either going to be trump or sanders. my reasoning is that i have watched so much tv coverage i lying at leastz twice that i can definitely remember. , whatnot write it down station i was watching, or the times so that i could document it. it happened so fast. at the time i didn't take it was that important. i figured everyone would figure out that he lies. the reason that i might vote for trump is that i do not want to see the situation go to a brokered convention. i think bernie sanders is on the right track. i don't feel that we would have to worry about anything going to extremes because of the checks and balances in our democratic system. there is no way. i have watched enough c-span to know that i want to watch your q&a about the supreme court that is coming up soon. courte that the supreme has reached the point where it's power has gotten out of balance. it has too much power. like i said, thank you for c-span. ho
