Report claims Gov. Snyder knew of 
Legionnaires’ in Flint before admission 

Bacteria-caused pneumonia one of many health effects associated with water crisis

Gov. 
Rick 
Snyder 
learned 

about outbreaks of Legionnaires’ 
disease in Flint one month prior 
to January 2016, which is when he 
publicly stated he was informed, 
according to the Detroit Free 
Press. Harvey Hollins III, one 
of Snyder’s aides, provided the 
information in a testimony on 
Friday.

Legionnaires’, 
a 
bacteria-

caused pneumonia, was one of 
the many fatal health effects of 
the Flint water crisis.

Hollins said he met with the 

Flint Water Advisory Task Force 
in December 2015 to address 
the alleged outbreaks; he then 
called the governor to inform 
him. However, in March of 
2016, Snyder told the U.S. House 

Committee on Oversight and 
Government Reform that he held 
a press conference the day after 
he found out.

Public Policy junior Lauren 

Schandevel, 
communications 

director for the University of 
Michigan’s chapter of College 
Democrats, wrote that she was 
not surprised to hear of Snyder’s 
wrongdoing in a message to the 
Daily.

“The fact that Rick Snyder 

knew about Legionnaires in Flint 
in December 2015 and didn’t 
call a press conference until 
January 2016 isn’t surprising 
considering his poor handling of 
the crisis in general,” Schandevel 
wrote. “This is just another 
example of government failing to 
prioritize the health and safety of 
marginalized communities.”

The University’s chapter of 

College Republicans did not 
respond to requests for comment 

at the time of publication. 

According to the Free Press, 

Hollins said in his testimony that 
after learning the information, 
Snyder 
gave 
instructions 
to 

Richard Baird, one of his top 
aides, to contact Nick Lyon, 
director 
of 
the 
Michigan 

Department 
of 
Health 
and 

Human Services. 

Lyon 
is 
currently 
facing 

charges 
of 
involuntary 

manslaughter and misconduct 
in conjunction with the water 
crisis; the Legionnaires’ outbreak 
is crucial to his case. Lyon could 
face these charges for causing the 
death of an 85-year-old man, who 
was diagnosed with the disease.

Hollins’ testimony occurred 

during the fourth day of Lyon’s 
preliminary examination — now 
halted and set to continue Nov. 
1 — which will determine if his 
trial will proceed to the circuit 
court.
