Walking back Flint's childhood blood lead crisis

Because I took an active part in the public debate over childhood blood lead levels here in Shoshone County in the early 2000s — when the EPA proposed the expansion of the Box’s Superfund site to the entire Coeur d’Alene Basin — I had more than a passing interest in the blood lead crisis in Flint, Mich., when it erupted into headlines in the nation’s press in 2014-2015.
