Lawyers have now filed three suits on behalf of Flint residents, one against the federal, state and local governments, attorney Bill Goodman said today.
The two new suits were filed Friday and today by Flint residents against Gov. Rick Snyder, former Flint emergency managers Darnell Earley and Jerry Ambrose, the state Department of Environmental Quality, state Department of Health & Human Services and Genesee County, attorneys from Pitt, McGehee, Palmer & Rivers announced today.
Goodman said, "More has to be done and we have to reach out in every possible direction."
With lawsuits come discovery, Goodman said, so they hope to find out what happened, including from emails and officials' sworn testimony.
