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

June 14, 2017

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

"Justice for Flint families comes in many forms, including holding state officials who created this man-made crisis accountable. Today's announcement that additional state officials will face criminal charges is an indictment of the state's failed policies that led to this crisis. I support the ongoing investigations, led solely by the facts, that seek to hold everyone accountable who did this to Flint.

"It is important to remember that the Flint water crisis is not over. The state and the Governor created this crisis and they must do more to help Flint's recovery."
