Statement by Congressman Dan Kildee on Criminal Charges in Flint Water Crisis

Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05) issued the following statement today after criminal charges were filed against state and local officials for their role in the Flint water crisis:

"Justice in the Flint water crisis is important and I support any investigation, including at the state and federal level, that are led by the facts and seek to hold those responsible accountable. Today's criminal charges are one step to bringing justice to Flint families who are the victims of this terrible tragedy. "There are many forms of justice, and one of them is making it right for the people of Flint. More resources are needed right now for Flint families who continue to face this public health emergency. The state, having created this man-made crisis, needs to step up in a big way with more resources. In Congress, I, along with Michigan's Senators, continue to pursue any way around Republican objections to a federal Flint aid package."
