Summary
Michael’s hometown of Flint, MI was poisoned for no other reason than racism and greed — and the people & banks responsible still haven't faced justice. On this week's episode, Michael welcomes back returning guest & investigative journalist Jordan Chariton to talk about his latest piece for the Guardian investigating why racketeering charges were dropped, why Governor Snyder is looking at a slap on the wrist, and what YOU can do about it.
