Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) and U.S. EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy appeared before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee March 17, as Congress seeks answers regarding the causes of the Flint, Mich., drinking water and lead poisoning crisis, determining the responsible entities and outlining solutions.
Snyder opened his remarks by acknowledging failures of government at all levels. “Local, state and federal officials—we all failed the families of Flint,” he said.
