Obviously, | don't think that’s a fair assessment. The Governor’s 10-peint plan includes an unprecedented look at lead
levels in Flint schools, free testing around the community, free hame water filters unt we can be confident the system
returns to acceptable levels, and a series of immediate, near-term and long-term steps to protect Flint families. We are
doing the work and presenting the data as it cores forward.
fern a department spokesman. I'm as good as the information | get to work with. And we've tried to do a very careful job
of making sure folks in Flint get accurate information on this issue, because it is a very serious one for thousands af
farnilles, This administration acknowledged an error in October and has been working hard since then to partner with
communities and deliver necessary resources to protect kids arid families.

Also while I’ve got you, if you care to respond to this statement by Senator Ananich (since we’re running his year-end
story today):
“The administration still, | think, seems to lack the sense of urgency that | expect, but they've done some positive steps
in the right direction. They still have folks, Brad Wurfel for one, who are still making statements that aren’t really true, |
think, to the public. You can’t say it’s the faucets in the school. If it wasn’t for the corrosive, poisonous water, we
wouldn’t have a problem. It’s another example of trying to make it sound like it wasn’t their fault as opposed to just
fixing the problem.”
.. That should be all for today. Thanks
