State Lawmakers to Visit Flint

Three of the six lawmakers on the state legislative panel reviewing the Flint water crisis are making a trip to the city Monday.

State Senator Jim Stamas, R-Midland, who chairs the committee made up of Republicans and Democrats from the Michigan House and Michigan Senate, says he, Senate Democratic Leader Jim Ananich, D-Flint, and State

Representative Ed McBroom, R-Vulcan, will visit a handful of sites including the water treatment plant.

Stamas says the next order of business, after Tuesday’s hearing, is to then plan a hearing in Flint.

Ananich says there’s no more important task before the committee than to give the people of Flint a platform to talk about the city’s water crisis and how it’s impacted them.
