Current State talks with Jonathan Oosting of the Detroit News about the potential cost of legal services related to the Flint water crisis.
$100 a day. That’s about how much it would have cost to add anti-corrosives to Flint’s drinking water after it switched from Detroit’s system in 2014.
The price tag for fixing the water crisis has gotten a lot bigger since then. Flint estimates that it will need at least $55 million dollars to replace corroded lead service lines.
And now Gov. Rick Snyder is requesting $1.2 million dollars to pay for the state’s legal fees.
Attorney General Bill Schuette is also hoping the state will give $1.5 million dollars to his office’s investigation into the water crisis.
