Brockovich wades into Lejeune water issue

Well-known environmental advocate Erin Brockovich is wading into the Camp Lejeune contaminated water issue.

Brockovich — who became a household name 11 years ago when Julia Roberts portrayed her in a film about the fight against a California company that polluted a city’s water supply — has joined 22 national and state organizations in support of a bill that would make it easier for veterans and their families affected by contaminated water aboard base to receive medical assistance.
