Michigan unveiled a 75-point plan Monday aimed at addressing the aftermath of the Flint water crisis, the Detroit Free Press reports. A change in the city's water supply in 2014 led to high levels of lead in residents' drinking water, which can cause serious health problems in children.
"We are committed to addressing immediate concerns and finding long-term solutions to improve the quality of life for the people of Flint," Gov. Rick Snyder (R) said in a news release.
