A Flint family is pursuing a grand jury investigation into Gov. Rick Snyder, alleging misconduct.

We talk with complainant Keri Webber of Flint and her attorney, Mark Brewer.
More legal action has been announced relating to the Flint water crisis, this time involving Gov. Rick Snyder. Southfield Attorney Mark Brewer announced yesterday he’s representing a Flint family in an action against the Governor.
Brewer and his client, Keri Webber, allege the Governor’s breaking the law by paying his legal fees with public revenue. Webber says lead in their water triggered a series of serious health problems in her family. The complaint asks Ingham County judges to appoint a one-person grand jury to consider the charges.
A Snyder spokesperson has said the use of taxpayer dollars is legal since the charges involve his role as a publicly elected official.
