Judge Dismisses Gov. Snyder, Some State Employees From Flint Water Crisis Case

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - A federal judge in Michigan on Aug. 1 dismissed Gov. Rick Snyder, the state of Michigan and some state employees from the Flint lead-contaminated water crisis litigation, ruling that the plaintiffs failed to sufficiently allege that those defendants were liable for any injuries because they were unaware of the threat posed by using the Flint River as a source of drinking water (In re Flint Water Cases [Luke Waid, et al. v. Richard D. Snyder, et al.], No. 16-10444, E.D. Mich.).
