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.
