Flint update

Here’s a quick media update to add to the other Flint briefing and update coming from Dan Wyant. CBS Evening News was in Flint Monday and Tuesday with coverage slated to air during tonight’s 6 p.m news block nationally. Story isn’t likely to be great, but should hopefully be fair and balanced. Will have ties into race, poverty, emergency management, and what state and locals did and knew when and how situation was handled. We helped arrange interviews with DEQ Director Dan Wyant and DHHS’ Cheryl Thompson, who is the deputy director for the Department’s field services, an African American and also a Flint resident. They did those interviews from the now up and running water filter distribution centers at one of the two DHHS Flint offices. They also did interviews with local Flint media. Majority of media coverage both in Flint locally and statewide today to date has been on free water filter distribution so has been generally more positive. Sen. Ananich was again urging immediate switch to Detroit water with comment “To me, the cost-benefit analysis that has cost on one side and brain damage for kids on the other -- it's incomprehensible.” Erin Brockovich did an exclusive interview for WJRT TV 12 that’s supposed to air tonight in the 5 p.m. news and the teaser is “one of the worst situations she’s ever seen.” Sara Wurfel, APR Press Secretary | Executive Office of Governor Rick Snyder wurfels@ michigan gov 517-335-6397, office i mobile xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0999_2643_2643_1

RE: Flint

Agreed overall, though ideally it would have been a week or two ago before the fever pitch level it is now. But we need to do something more to change the narrative and demontrate state's leadership and determination to help tackle the issue. Key challenge is what specifically tied to kind of venue/announcement/info given the dynamics and timing (ie. school testing results) and status of DWSD reconnect conversation. Or a way to convey some other tangible item/assistance. These filter distribution sites announced yesterday and that Beth highlighted below could be good one - it's a state led effort with collaboration - just would have to be done carefully. We also have the state lab where testing is done. Though that poses certain opportunities and risks too, including it's not in Flint (is in Lansing).
