A, come on, just throw thern under the bus one tire... McBride reports that at the meeting this morning in DC that Kildee and Stabeniow ganged up to throw the state under the bus...

That's a great point and change.

Overall it works for me. Although, just add some urgency/compassion. ® We warntto ensure that there are no complications or interruntions in Flint residents receiving water fram GWLA, so we are taking steps immediately wire the money te the city, They should have all of the state funds within a business day or twa.

Accountable Please see below. We're going to address by noting that this move to was something that community had supported as well, that we know Darnell cares deeply about kids and the residents he serves, but that primarily we're focused on future and all the steps we are taking in collaboration with all parties to ensure that Flint has safe drinking water and we're protecting public health, and that we will be conducting a full after action review. Let me know ASAP if anyone has any concerns with that or other tweaks/ideas, otherwise, that's what we're going with. Thanks and best, SW Sent from my iPad Begin forwarded message:

Request cette Not Responsive == Shes the one who told me in late July “that the city did not to have any part in delivering the 1500 filters we eourell because their position was that the water was safe to drink. She is also the one to shoot down the firm the Rich got to come to Lansing to present new technology to treat the water by using far less chemicals the city was currently using. Smh Best, Harvey

Hi, i wanted to see if the state had any cormment in response to this lawsuit. Thanks. Gary Ridley | The Flint Journal-Milve Media Group {| 930-280-0516 | gridleyGimilive.com

What if they are shut ing or can’t get there? Where’s the rellef coming from? is the Filnt Transit Authority willing to axtend complimentary transpertetion? Who is gning to exmlain to the recipients how the filter fits on their faucet? | know from experience that my wife never grew up building things out of Erector Sets, and she’s terrible at reading “part a atteches to part b with two bolts enclosed in the third packet, Don't use the ones marked only for Delta faucets oh, you get the point. ” dust a suggestion from a syntax point of view, the construction of the first sentence appears to allay anyone whoisa DHHS client and anyone who is a Flint resident to receive a water filter. Itisn’t clear that it applies to a person whois a Flint resident who receives public assistance and not to other Hint residents. Secondly, don't forget that other Hint residents alse should be entitied to a water filter and although the press release is about DHHS clients, we don’t want to create additional confusion. A thraw-away line about the other residents might be wise.

Please see below. Not sure what status of our outreach and plans on water filters is? Perhaps we were involved in this GM effort indirectly or directly already. That said, there may be value in combining or coordinating. Let's talk, please. Want to make sure we're all on same page internally first. Thanks! SW

Very nicely done on the press release on Flint. xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0023_0051_0051_1

hito /Aext 7online. cam/20 1 customers-next-month/ ercent-ofjis-water- What happens when Muskegon Hts. loses 70 percent of its water customers next month? MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, Mich. — From weeks of fs & 8 to water customers telling FOX 17 they were being : zet| by hundreds or even thousands of dollars more on their bills than they believed they should’ ve been, the water issues in Muskegon Heights have been well documented in recent months. But there could be an even bigger issue looming in just weeks. xxxEND_PAGE:deq14_b0003_0003_0005_1 On April 15, water customers tn Norton Shores and Fruitport Township will stop getting their water from the Muskegon Heights water system, representing about 70 percent of the city’s wholesale customers. The two communities apparently couldn’t come to an agreement on new contract terms or rates. Under a new agreement, as part of the newly created West Michigan Regional Water Authority, both communities will receive water from the city of Muskegon’s water filtration plant. Construction in the Norton Shores and Fruitport area has already begun in preparation for the switch over, a decision made in 2012, with new water pipes being installed under streets and a new water tower constructed. In Muskegon Heights, it remains unclear how the city will recoup the loss of three quarters of its water customers. After Monday night’s city council meeting, several council members and the interim city manager directed all questions regarding a transition plan to the Mayor Darrell Paige. Paige, however, did not attend Monday night’s meeting. When asked why widespread discussions weren’t already taking place on what the city will do, council member Eddie Jenkins said the discussions “should’ ve happened months ago.” “Lalways bring it up: ‘What’s our next plan, what are we going to do?” he said. “There’s no one else left for us to contract out to, because Muskegon has the last of our contracts with Norton Shores and Fruitport. So, now it’s, like, how are we going to sustain ourselves?” xxxEND_PAGE:deq14_b0003_0003_0005_2 FOX 17 made several phone calls and went to the mayor’s home seeking comment. He later returned our calls Monday evening but only said details on the transition plan would not be made public until after the changeover takes place. “There is a plan, but we are not going to divulge that right now,” he said over the phone, adding there could be a possibility of a rate increase, but he wouldn’t be specific. “We're not divulging anything until it’s done and gone and we know we have our calculations correct.” When asked whether the city’s water department could be sustainable after losing 70 percent of its customers, Paige said that while it would be a tough fit, he feels confident they’ ve implemented a plan to help the city be successful. Paige would not provide an exact date for when the city would reveal any details of the transition plan.

We need to make sure things are buttoned up in Flint as it relates to the water treatment operations, apparently. Via Twitter just now: AnonCorpWatch “ He sis not dead! About Corporations have been getting way with far too much for far too long. It is time that we, the citizens of the world, educate ourselves and take action against these Corporations. We all understand that for past few generations, we have allowed laws to be written, tax incentives to be created and have allowed loop hales to be made in environmental policy. We have allowed lobbiests in Washington , and other governments around the world, to make this capitalist institution called the “Corporation” get away with practices that are unacceptable. We have not understood the consequences until it is too late. We have felt too overwhelmed by the do’s and don’ts that we have felt we had to respect, that we have allowed these powerhouses to benefit fram massive profits, while we the majority are struggling. It is time that we the people take matters into our own hands. It is time to take responsibility for our ignorance. We must forgive ourselves for allowing this economic “Grand Canyon” between the mega wealthy and the other 90% of us. We hear our leaders ask us to make further sacrifices by accepting higher interest rates in order to pay for the mess they got us inte. They have repeatedly tried to take away our voice. It is time forgive us our sins and move forward. We will no longer allow these Corporations and Government puppets to silence us. Like others before us, we are taking matters into our own hands. We are going to start keeping tabs on these Corporations. We are going to collect information and share it. We are going to spread the truth as far as we can. Most importantly we are going to take action! xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b1880_4582_4583_1 Be a voice in a voiceless world.
