Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Study Stalled

Members of Congress from North Carolina have been pushing the United States Navy to evaluate the possible link between decades of water contamination and cancer found among former residents of Camp Lejuene in Jacksonville.  As reported by the News & Observer, the Navy is not willing to fund the study despite indications that thousands of people were exposed to carcinogenic chemicals in their drinking water.  As lawyers and residents of North Carolina, we certainly hope that the U.S. Government addresses this terrible situation for the people that drank the contaminated water.
