She wouldn't stay quiet. The EPA removed her

Elin Warn Betanzo helped uncover the Flint water crisis. Years later, she sat on a federal panel advising the government on drinking water — until she signed a letter warning the EPA was abandoning its mission, and the agency removed her two days later. Now she's suing to get her seat back.

She joins Robyn Vincent to talk about Flint, the lawsuit, and what happens to the rest of us when the government tells its scientists to stay quiet. The Metro contacted the EPA, which said it does not comment on pending litigation.
