Jan. 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear appeals from city officials in Flint, Mich., seeking to have a case related to the water crisis dismissed.
Shari Guertin brought the case against the city of Flint and state officials in 2016, claiming her child was harmed by drinking lead-contaminated water after the city switched water sources from Lake Huron to the Flint River. Flint residents have reported cases ranging from hair loss, lead poisoning, Legionnaire's disease and skin rashes from the water.
