Last week, the State of Michigan agreed to a $600 million settlement of the civil lawsuits brought against the State of Michigan by Flint residents after the water supply for the City of Flint was switched to the Flint River on April 25, 2014. Governor Whitmer said from our first month in office, Attorney General Nessel and I made it clear to our teams that even though we inherited this situation, it was our responsibility to achieve the best possible settlement for the children and families of Flint - as soon as we could. It is time for the State to do what it can and take this critical step forward so that we can keep working towards the brighter future that the people of Flint and our entire state deserve.
An agreement has been reached on the terms of a settlement, and now the parties are working to document all the details. As the legal process moves forward, we will continue working to make sure that the people of Flint have the facts about the settlement.
