MICHIGAN — Progress Michigan released the following statement regarding the resignation of Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Director Dan Wyant and the ongoing Flint Water Crisis.

“So far under Gov. Rick Snyder’s watch, there has been zero accountability in this crisis and that continues today,” said Lonnie Scott, executive director of Progress Michigan. “Dan Wyant gets to walk away from this crisis, but the people of Flint do not. There’s a lot we don’t know about this man-made catastrophe. What did Gov. Snyder know and when did he know it? We need complete transparency so that justice for the families of Flint can be realized and the proper people can be held accountable. All documentation related this this crisis needs to be released to the public immediately.”
