FLINT, MI A lawsuit filed by Flint Councilman Eric Mays against the city, Mayor Sheldon Neeley, members of the City Council and others has been dismissed by a federal court judge.
U.S. District Court Judge Bernard A. Friedman granted a motion to dismiss the complaint, which claimed other city officials violated the constitutional rights of Mays and his constituents by removing him from meetings for having been disruptive and subjecting the 1st Ward councilman to false arrest.

FLINT, Mich. (CN) The Flint City Council voted early Tuesday to approve the city’s $20 million share of a massive $641 million settlement for injury claims stemming from the contaminated water crisis that first poisoned citizens in 2014.
The council members voted last week to hire their own attorney to advise them on the settlement and handle any of their objections with the court. They had also postponed the vote to allow the use of $20 million from an insurance carrier to pay Flint’s portion of the deal, as some members expressed apprehension about leaving some victims behind.
