Hi Dave, I am filing a short ttem on the USAO opening an investigation into the Flint water crisis. They tell me they're working with the EPA. s./Awitter.conv 9495 52766 15680 Reporter | Huffington Post (202) 624-9396 desk | Twitter @ArthurDelaneyHP cell xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0468_1662_1662_1

Dave, I am still waiting to hear from MDHHS about the latest from FlintWaterStory.org. The core allegation is that they had a very clear warning of elevated blood lead in a July 27 memo that the email correspondence says was sent to the agency director as well as the governor's office. If the statement's coming soon, I can hold my story, but if it's not coming soon, I can add it after publishing. 1 xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b1260_3179_3184_1 _ Dave, sorry for my slowness in acknowledging this email. I agree that that sentence would be unfair by itself. _ The next sentence says "local officials toasted the decision." | realize the city voted to switch to the KWA. My sense from local reporting is that the interim switch to the Flint River was not exactly a local call, even if the river had previously served as a backup. Like I said, I do not ever want to give readers the impression that the governor was SOLELY responsible for the water switch. I think those two sentences together are fair, though in the future I can try to include local and state entities in a single sentence.

Arthur, here is today’s press release from the task force and the governor’s response fetter, Dave Murray Press Secretary | Executive Office of Governor Rick Snyder Twitter:@michigandmurray
