The Michigan Attorney General’s Office is closing its criminal pursuit of public officials responsible for the Flint water crisis, including former Governor Rick Snyder. It’s been nearly 10 years since Michigan leaders switched the city’s drinking water source to the Flint River to save money. The water corroded Flint’s aging pipes, causing poisonous levels of lead to leach into the drinking water, causing many residents in the majority-Black city, particularly children, to develop health problems. An outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease killed at least 12 people.
