On this edition of Your Call’s media roundtable, we revisit Flint, Michigan's water crisis with Anna Clark, author of The Poisoned City: Flint’s Water and the American Urban Tragedy. State prosecutors recently dropped all criminal charges against eight government officials implicated in the scandal, saying a more thorough investigation is needed.
Later in the show, we'll discuss the Supreme Court's refusal to approve the citizenship question on the 2020 census and the decision to uphold partisan gerrymandering.
