HILLARY CLINTON LINKED TO COMPANY BEING SUED OVER FLINT WATER CRISIS

"A top executive for a global agency that gives free PR for the Clinton Global Initiative and has multiple ties to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is also the spokesman for a firm facing multiple lawsuits in the Flint water crisis.

The PR agency, APCO Worldwide, has contributed up to $50,000 to the Clinton Foundation, and has worked alongside it for more than eight years. The head of the firm is a former Clinton donor, and some of its employees worked in President Bill Clinton’s administration.

Pete Wentz is the executive director of APCO’s Chicago office. He’s also the spokesman for Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam Inc., a Houston-based engineering firm facing multiple lawsuits 'alleging gross negligence, professional negligence and battery for alleged lead poisoning of about 50 children in Flint over the past two years.'

Thirty to 60 lawsuits have been filed over the drinking water public health scandal, and LAN is named in at least nine, because it was 'hired to oversee a refit of the city’s nearly century-old Water Treatment Plant when Flint separated from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department in April 2014.'

In a January Democratic presidential debate, Hillary Clinton said she was 'outraged' that a city with many African-Americans 'has been drinking and bathing in lead-contaminated water,' and that Gov. Snyder would have been more concerned if it happened to 'kids in a rich suburb of Detroit.'"
