NBC News: Michigan agrees to $600M to residents in Flint water crisis
The deal is intended to resolve all legal actions against the state for its role in a disaster that made the impoverished, majority-Black city a symbol of governmental mismanagement.
NBC writes: “Under the deal, the state is establishing the $600 million fund and Flint residents can file claims for compensation. The amount awarded per applicant would be based on how badly they were harmed.”
