LANSING — A small group of Flint residents came to Lansing on Wednesday to mark the one-year anniversary of Gov. Rick Snyder’s acknowledgement of the lead contamination of the city’s drinking water, arguing that the state and federal government are not doing enough to replace the city’s lead pipes.
Flint activists Melissa Mays of Water You Fighting For and Nakiya Wakes and Nayyirah Shariff of Flint Rising said many residents still don’t have access to properly installed and maintained lead filters and many others who do have filters don’t trust the devices to deliver safe water.
