Flint Mayor Karen Weaver spoke on conflicts regarding water credits during the city's water crisis on Monday.
According to a release, Weaver addressed "conflicting accounts regarding information state officials relayed to her and other city officials about the water credits and when/how that information was shared."
Last week, Weaver and other city officials met with Gov. Rick Snyder to let him know what a help the credits have been.
After the meeting, Weaver said Snyder refused to extend the financial assistance for the credits.
“The governor feels he has fulfilled his obligation,” Weaver said last week. “He stated that Flint’s water now meets the same quality standards as other communities in Michigan and meets the federal quality standards and in his opinion the water is good. And I told him that I disagree.”
According to officials, there are more than $40 million in water relief credits that will have been applied to Flint water customers by the end of the program, but Weaver believe that is not enough.
During her press conference on Monday, Weaver said she expected the credits to continue at least through June, which is when the next water test is scheduled for.
"What concerns me is that we're losing focus. We're losing focus of the real issue, and that's what the state wants us to do," Weaver said.
According to Weaver, they at least expect the water credits to continue through March after Snyder signed legislation in January.
