(CAMP LEJEUNE) -- Work continues by members of North Carolina's congressional delegation to help those impacted by toxic water from wells at Camp Lejeune. Rep. Brad Miller says he is working to get compensation and health care for those who were exposed to the water over three decades.
"It would be a grave injustice to leave them uncompensated. But there's an effort now to try to identify a way to pay for it because the rules of the House now do require that any new spending be offset some way, that we find some savings somewhere else," Miller said.
Miller's work is part of an MSNBC documentary focused on the work of Marine Master Sgt. Jerry Ensminger, who has made it his life's work to investigate the death of his daughter at Camp Lejeune linked to the water.
