A new lawsuit was filed by Flint residents against Governor Rick Snyder and other state officials over their fear of developing cancer in the near future. The residents alleged the probability of getting cancer because of their lead exposure since Flint's water crisis.

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder has appealed to the federal officials to consider their decision not to issue financial help to Flint. The governor requested funds to help pay water, food and other needs of the residents.

Flint residents will be receiving $30 million aid fund to solve the lead contamination crisis in Michigan. The news comes after the legislation has been approved unanimously by the Michigan Senate.
