CHAIRMAN BECERRA TO JOIN CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION TO FLINT AND HEAR DIRECTLY FROM FAMILIES AFFECTED BY WATER CRISIS

WASHINGTON, DC – (RealEstateRama) — Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra (CA-34) will travel to Flint, Michigan tomorrow as part of a Congressional delegation to hear directly from families affected by the city’s ongoing water crisis. Chairman Becerra will be briefed by federal officials on the crisis, receive a tour of the city and join a “Speak Out” with Flint families. Ahead of his visit, Chairman Becerra released the following statement:

“No parent should have to worry about water their kids drink or the safety of their back yards. It’s outrageous that lead poisoning is an ongoing issue affecting families in Flint and across the country. In the Los Angeles area, including in my district, we are confronting a possible environmental crisis due to contamination from a lead battery plant that could affect up to 10,000 homes. Families want solutions and they need action now.”
