First, they were suspended—but with pay. Now, thanks to the fact that Attorney General Dana Nessel’s team has dropped criminal charges against them in order to reopen the investigation into the Flint Water Crisis, former Snyder officials who may have been responsible for poisoning the people of Flint (or part of the attempt to cover up what happened) are being invited back to work.
According to a Monday report by The Detroit News, multiple Snyder-era officials are about to be invited to return to serve in the administration of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Nancy Peeler and Robert Scott, who were accused of covering up a 2015 report about the level of lead in the blood of Flint’s children, could return to work at the Department of Health and Human Services as soon as June 24.
