If Mr. Snyder, above rear, is convicted on two misdemeanor charges of neglect, he faces imprisonment of up to one year or a maximum fine of $1,000. His lawyer said he expected the former governor to be exonerated. Several other officials were also charged with crimes tied to the crisis, including Nick Lyon, the former state health director; Howard Croft, a former public works director; and Darnell Earley, the city’s former emergency manager. Mayor Sheldon Neeley called the consequences of Flint’s water crisis, combined with the city’s raging coronavirus infections, [a “perfect storm.”](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRh42AZP4QAAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjEvMDEvMTQvdXMvZm9yLWZsaW50LW1pY2gtdGhlLXB1YmxpYy1oZWFsdGgtdHJhdW1hcy1uZXZlci1zZWVtLXRvLXN0b3AuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIxMDExNCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0yNjAyNiZubD1ldmVuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD00OTM0MSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKX_0Z2wBgvtJKSFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) Olga Burtseva/Olga Burtseva, via Associated Press 7. 2020 was the hottest year on record.
