Brendan O'Connor · 01/12/16 10:05PMMichigan governor Rick Snyder has activated the National Guard to help distribute bottled water and filters in the city of Flint, the Associated Press reports.

Jordan Sargent · 01/08/16 03:05PMThe water in Flint, Mich. is poisoned. On Tuesday, many months after its residents rightly suspected its water might be tainted and sickening, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder declared a state of emergency. On Thursday, Flint Mayor Karen Weaver said the cash-poor city might need to come up with as much $1.5 billion to fix its water system, a sad coda to a crisis that stems from a broken down city looking to save money anywhere it could.
