A special counsel appointed to investigate the lead contamination of Flint's water says the harshest criminal charge could include involuntary manslaughter. Regulators failed to ensure the new water was treated properly and lead from pipes leached into the water supply, contributing to a spike in child lead exposure. General Motors and the United Auto Workers union plan to donate $3 million to support increased health and education services for Flint children who have been exposed to lead. The United Way says it's outlining a framework that will provide children with at-home care, nutritional assistance and early childhood and supplemental education. Flint's city administrator says $30 million to help pay water bills isn't enough to counteract the effect of the crisis with lead-tainted water on city finances. Natasha Henderson told city council members Monday the proposal passed last week by the state Senate would only keep Flint's water fund financially solvent until year's end.
