U.S. House Committee to Hold Flint Water Hearing

More congressional hearings on the Flint water crisis have been planned. The U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee says it will spend some time next Wednesday considering “impacts and lessons learned” from the crisis. As the Gongwer News Service reports, the committee has not said who it will ask to testify at the hearing. Sixth District Representative Fred Upton chairs the committee. Upton said in a statement that the hearing’s purpose is not to assign blame for Flint’s water, but to look for ways to avoid similar problems going forward.

Sehvilla Mann joined WMUK’s news team in 2014 as a reporter on the local government and education beats. She covered those topics and more in eight years of reporting for the Station, before becoming news director in 2022.
