Today in Flint Gov. Rick Snyder signed a bill giving $30 Million in credits to Flint residents forced to pay for poisoned water.
As reported by Detroit Free Press's Paul Egan:
"The bill Snyder signed into law on Friday is designed to give Flint ratepayers credit for 65% of the water portion of their bills since the switch to the Flint River occurred, while the city was under the control of a state-appointed emergency manager. 'Flint residents should not have to pay for water they cannot drink,' Snyder said in a news release. 'This credit will reimburse residents for payments made since April 2014 for the portion of water used for drinking, bathing and cooking.'"
