water grants.docx Good afternoon Governor, Here is background on the planned Tuesday event in Flint regarding the $2 million Distressed Cities grant and other issues connected to the water situation. There are plans for two press releases on Tuesday. The first will detail the two Flint grants and will be released by the governor’s communications office. The other release, which would detail the other grants, would follow from Treasury with a quote. Both drafts are attached, and we are considering approaching the Flint mayor or emergency manager to contribute a quote. Mayor Walling has agreed to speak at the event, with Harvey Hollins and Dan Wyant representing the administration. Sen. Ananich has asked to speak, and it has been suggested that Rep. Neeley would speak and it might be better to add him to the program. Others, such as Deputy Director Workman and Emergency Manager Ambrose, would be present and available. The attached document includes details about the planned event, as well as background on the grants from Treasury and on the entire water issue from DEQ as well as Mayor Walling’s Facebook post and links to the stories in the media about the issue. We have a room reserved and are working with the communications team in Flint to have microphones and other items needed for the event. Please let me know if there is any information you think should also be included, or anything that should be changed. Thank you very much, Dave Murray Dave Murray Deputy Press Secretary | Executive Office of Governor Rick Snyder $3N.Ov lichigandmurray xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0298_1226_1226_1
