Mississippi water crisis hits fourth day [Video]

A boil water advisory is in effect for roughly 150,000 people in Mississippis capital. Over the weekend, severe flooding damaged the citys water treatment plant, causing the system to fail. Now that the issue has hit a crisis point, there are growing questions about the citys infrastructure and racial inequity. Jackson city councilman Aaron Banks and former senior advisor for public engagement for President Biden Trey Baker join CBS News to discuss the systemic issues plaguing the city in the wake of the water crisis.
