Summary:
Third hearing on the Flint water crisis held before the U.S. House Oversight and Governmental Reform Committee. Testimony is heard from Gina McCarthy, of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Michigan Governor Rick Snyder. Snyder acknowledges failures by Michigan government says that the emergency financial manager system failed in Flint, but blames the EPA and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) for covering up the crisis. McCarthy says that no one at the EPA did anything wrong and that they of the EPA staff involved did what they could to prevent and later solve the crisis. McCarthy also blames Flint's emergency manager for switching the water source and the State of Michigan for not requiring the use of corrosion control chemicals. Committee members challenge both McCarthy's and Snyder's testimony and several members call on both Snyder and McCarthy to resign.
