Abstract
The Flint Water Crisis persisted despite residents’ protestations, and the crisis can be viewed through the lens of technical rationality across all levels of government (i.e., local, state, and federal). Technical rationality explains that the crisis was due to excessive reliance on professionals, neutral objectivity, and contextual indifference. These three factors combined to create an egregious example of environmental injustice in Flint, Michigan.
