RE: Question on MPSC appointment & Flint stuff
- From
- David Murray
Hello Jacob,
rn not aware that an announcement is imminent for the replacement on the Public Service Cornmission.
Here is our statement regarding Flint. ’m attaching a fact sheet.
The health and welfare of Flint residents is a top priority, and we’re committed to working closely with Mayor
Weaver and the Genesee County Commission on a coordinated response to health and infrastructure issues.
After the County Commission’s vote today, the Michigan State Police’s Emergency Management and
Homeland Security Division is working with the Genesee County Emergency Management Coordinator to
gather information about the resources needed for a Governor’s declaration.
The state police have been closely engaged in the situation since the beginning, meeting with both county and
city leaders to guide them through state and federal laws regarding the emergency management process. Due to
the uniqueness of this situation, we have to look at all possible options to help Flint residents.
But prior to a formal declaration, we are recognizing this as an emergency and are working with city and county
leaders to coordinate efforts, streamline communication and tap all available resources at the state’s control.
