DETROIT – Flint's water scandal remains under criminal investigation, prosecutors said Friday, pointing out a “misconception” that time soon will expire for any charges to be filed.
The Michigan attorney general’s office last June dropped charges against eight people and said it was starting from scratch.
But Wayne County prosecutor Kym Worthy and state attorney Fadwa Hammoud said time still is on their side.
The city’s water meets federal standards, according to state regulators, although some residents still don’t trust it and use bottled water.
Rick Snyder was warned about the dangers of using Flint water a full year before the switch.
