RE: u.s. district court lawsuit concerning flint water

See all emails with these participants
Hi there Ron — Sure - can do now. We haven't been served yet so can’t comment on specific details. What would say is that we’re focused on moving forward and ensuring public health and clean, safe drinking water. The governor has outlined a detailed multiple step action plan for both immediate, mid and long term. He has also appointed a task force doing a very important job of reviewing all past actions. They are a bipartisan group of people of the highest integrity, experts in their fields and widely respected who are going to do a very thorough, objective review. Just let me know if anything more needed at all. Thanks and best, sw

state money for detroit water

See all emails with these participants
Sara: | was at a City Council meeting last night when Flint City Administrator Natasha Henderson said the state has only wired Flint $2 million of the $6 million approved by the state Legislature. She said the city has been told it will receive an additional $2 million in January and another $2 million in April. Henderson said she’s asked that the money be sent immediately because the city was required to pay Detroit the entire $12 million upfront, before the water was reconnected, and its water and sewer fund balance has dropped significantly as a result. Several council members also spoke about this, and Council President Josh Freeman called the payment plant “beyond ridiculous” given the city’s financial position. Is there someone who can talk to us about this?

Ron, am on the road with Governor at moment, so do have to respond by email. The task force will operate as transparently as possible and there are certainly expected to be opportunities for public input. The task force will be independent and our administration has pledged full and complete cooperation. Sara Wurfel Press Secretary | Executive Office of Governor Rick Snyder Sent from my iPhone

RE: MDP Statement: Those Responsible for Flint Water Crisis Must Be Held

See all emails with these participants
My carnments are several fold, Ron. This switch to KWA as well as using the community's long-time back-up water supply (Flint River) was pushed or supported by the city and cornmunity and that DWSD was terminating Flint from its systarn (see attached letter again just in case} necessitating another source, We alsa know Darnell cares deeply about the kids and cornmunities he serves. We're focused on solving this challenging infrastructure issue, moving forward quickly and doing everything we can to engure that Flint has safe drinking water and protecting public health — both in the immediate short-term, mid-term and long-term. We're also going to be conducting @ full after action review.
