On Local Issues: $28M to deal with Flint water treatment crisis

In addition to the $9 million supplemental appropriation for Flint made in October 2015, the request today is for $28 million. It includes:
  1. Additional bottled water, filters, and replacement filters for anyone who needs these resources.
  2. Assistance for the City of Flint to help with its utility related issues.
  3. Testing and replacing fixtures in schools, day care facilities, and other higher risk locations.
  4. Treatment of children with high lead levels, including diagnostic testing, nurse visits, and environmental assessments.
  5. Treatment of potential behavioral health issues such as ADHD for those who have or could have had an elevated blood lead level.
  6. We will also work with local primary care providers and hospitals to educate the community about toxic stress and how to identify early developmental delays.
  7. Additional support for children's health care access
  8. An infrastructure integrity study for pipes and connections, using outside, independent experts
