Kildee restarts push to restore pensions of retired Delphi salaried workers

FLINT, MI -- Salaried Delphi retirees who lost their pensions during General Motorsโ€™ 2009 bankruptcy are going back to Congress, asking for the restoration of their benefits after similar legislation stalled in the U.S. Senate last year. Congress took up the cause of the Delphi retirees last year after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear their case in 2022. Retirees have contended that theyโ€™ve been discriminated against as salaried employees, losing their benefits while union workersโ€™ pensions were preserved. Bruce Gump, chairman of the Delphi Salaried Retirees Association, said Thursday that the legislation before Congress is non-partisan and can potentially end a โ€œnearly 14-year-long nightmareโ€ for the retirees. โ€œThey singled out Delphi salaried retirees for harsh treatment, deeming us as too small and too weak to fight back ...

Flint tap water met federal lead guidelines in last half of 2022

FLINT, MI -- Water tested during the second half of 2022 in Flint was below the federal action limit for lead despite a limited number of samples coming from homes with lead service lines or lead solder in plumbing. Because of the cityโ€™s program to replace lead and galvanized steel water service lines since the Flint water crisis, there are fewer homes with lead service lines, triggering the need to add non-residential testing sites to the sampling program. To be considered a Tier 1 site, properties must be residential and have a lead service line or lead fixtures or solder in the homeโ€™s plumbing. In its most recent previous testing, Flintโ€™s 90th percentile for lead was 10 ppb in the first half of 2022, 7 ppb in the second half of 2021, and 3 ppb in the first half of 2021. EGLEโ€™s news release on Wednesday said that if only the 35 residential sites had been tested for lead, the 90th percentile calculation for Flint water would have been at 3 ppb.

EPA cites Flint scrapyard for violation of Clean Air Act

FLINT, MI -- The owner of a Flint scrapyard has been cited for violating the federal Clean Air Act for failing to verify that refrigerants were removed from old appliances on its property, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says.
