"AG Schuette: Flint Water Charges Only The Beginning; More To Come"

"FLINT — Three officials responsible for maintaining safe water in Flint tinkered with evidence, tweaked testing and misled county and federal officials, helping to set in motion the contamination of the city's drinking water with lead, according to criminal charges filed by Michigan's chief law enforcement official Wednesday.

"These charges are only the beginning and there will be more to come. That I can guarantee you," Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette told an afternoon news conference in downtown Flint.

Schuette's office filed charges against Mike Glasgow, 40, of Flint, the city's laboratory and water quality supervisor; Mike Prysby, 53, of Bath, a Michigan Department of Environmental Quality official; and Stephen Busch, 40, of DeWitt, the Lansing district coordinator for the DEQ’s Office of Drinking Water and Municipal Assistance."

Matthew Dolan, Elisha Anderson, and Paul Egan report for the Detroit Free Press April 20, 2016.
