\u201cIn the latest on the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, newly released emails show top aides of Michigan Governor Rick Snyder advocated changing the city\u2019s water back to the Detroit system just months after it was switched to the corrosive Flint River. The switch, made by an unelected emergency manager, poisoned the city\u2019s water supply with lead after the river water corroded the pipes. The emails show Snyder\u2019s deputy legal counsel raised objections to the river water as early as October 2014, citing bacterial contamination and calling it an “urgent matter to fix.” Governor Snyder\u2019s legal counsel also backed those concerns, saying Flint should “try to get back on the Detroit system as a stopgap ASAP before this thing gets too far out of control.” But it wasn\u2019t until a year later that the water was finally switched back, after 18 months of using the Flint River water. By then, residents had complained of a raft of cognitive and physical impairments from the poisoned water.\u201d<\/p>\n
