The Flint criminal cases involving the city’s water crisis will be wrapped up in early 2021, according to Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, who made the announcement at a Dec. 22 press conference.
Nessel’s office settled Flint’s more than 100 civil lawsuits for $641 million and the Flint City Council signed off on the settlement yesterday after weeks of indecision and debate. The AG gave an update on the cases during a year-end roundup where she discussed the progress her office has made this year, including charging 14 people allegedly involved in a plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and following up on more than 4,400 complaints of retailer price gouging during the COVID-19 pandemic.
