BREAKING: A judge dismissed criminal charges against former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder in the Flint water crisis. It comes months after the state Supreme Court said indictments returned by a one-person grand jury were invalid.
after city managers appointed by Snyder began using the Flint River in 2014 to save money while a new pipeline to Lake Huron was built. The water wasn’t treated to reduce its corrosive qualities, causing lead to break off from old pipes and contaminate the system for more than a year.doubting that the water switch and the brush-off of complaints in the majority-Black city would have occurred in a white, prosperous community.
