"Gov. Rick Snyder Releases Emails Related To Flint Water Crisis"

"Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) on Wednesday released a trove of emails related to the Flint water crisis, something Snyder promised during his State of the State address.

The governor's office posted on its website nearly 300 pages of emails from 2014 and 2015 that mentioned Flint, where the water has been unsafe to drink because of high lead levels. The emails are available for download HERE.

Snyder has previously declined to say when he became aware that Flint had a lead-in-water crisis. The emails released Wednesday don't definitively answer that question, but suggest it was probably sometime around September. Word of other problems with Flint's water hit Snyder's inbox in 2014. "

Arthur Delaney reports for the Huffington Post January 20, 2016.
