Not Responsiv Team, As you are aware, we have been working closely with the independent task force that has been reviewing state, local and federal actions regarding the serious health issues related to water in Flint. Although the task force’s final report is not yet complete, members have made the Governor aware of some interim findings, and there are interim steps the Governor has decided to take immediately in order to restore trust in how we in state government keep residents safe and informed. As part of this process, Dan Wyant, director of the Department of Environmental Quality, has offered his resignation, and Governor has reluctantly decided to accept it. There are likely to be other personnel changes in MDEQ as well. | want to thank Dan for his service. He has been the DEQ director since the start of the administration, and previously headed the Agriculture Department under both Gov. Engler and Gov. Granholm. He is passionate about public service and protecting our state’s environment. The situation in Flint is serious and challenging. We will continue to work closely with the task force and city leaders as we move forward, committed to protecting the health of people living in Flint and around our state. Sincerely, Jarrod Agen xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0215_0505_0505_1
