Gov. Rick Snyder says he will release all of his emails regarding the Flint water crisis. He said so during a speech delivered during the State of the State address Wednesday night.
The impetus of the crisis was in April of 2014, when the city of Flint switched water sources. The new water source lead to corroding pipes and an increase in the blood lead levels of the city’s children. He also announced plans to create a Commission for 21st Century Education to investigate what obstacles are holding the state back and determine how to build the state’s educational future. The commission will deliver results by the end of November, 2016. Snyder pointed to the problem as a failure at all levels of government, and apologized to Flint residents.
