密歇根的一个上诉法院将本顿港市长Marcus Muhammad从指控地方官员不当管理铅污染水问题的诉讼中除名。 An appeals court in Michigan removed Benton Harbor Mayor Marcus Muhammad from a lawsuit accusing local officials of mismanaging lead-contaminated water issues. 法院驳回了Muhammad,称他的政府豁免保护他免受指控,申诉中没有证据表明他在水危机问题上故意漠视行事。 The court dismissed Muhammad, stating his governmental immunity protected him from the allegations, and there was no evidence in the complaint suggesting he acted with deliberate indifference concerning the water crisis. 尽管自铅管被更换后情况有所改善,而且水中的铅含量不再超过联邦准则,但针对本顿港前水厂厂长的诉讼仍将继续进行。 The lawsuit will continue against Benton Harbor's former water plant director, despite improvements since lead pipes were replaced and lead levels in water no longer exceeding federal guidelines.
