Funds are starting to make their way to the residents of Flint Michigan from a partial settlement approved by a federal judge for $626.25 million. This crisis was sparked in 2014 when government officials were attempting to find a new municipal water supply. The state’s governor, Rick Snyder, switched its main source from Detroit Water and Sewage to the Flint River, water already proven to be unsafe for consumption or use.
Residents started to become ill and formed Legionnaires’ disease among other diseases. Some residents experienced miscarriages and male fertility issues. Residents are speaking out against the amount given claiming it is no enough for the residents who will continue to suffer from the ailments.
