Michigan governor hires lawyers for Flint water issues
(AP) — Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has hired two outside lawyers to assist with civil representation and to search and process emails and other records connected to Flint's lead-tainted water crisis, a spokesman said Thursday.
Driker, a civil defense attorney, is assisting with civil representation and Lennon, a criminal defense attorney, is serving as investigatory counsel, a job that includes dealing with the review of records, Adler said.
The funding will expand the services to children by providing additional classrooms, home visiting support and transportation for families who need to visit the doctor, the department announced during a conference call.
