A second House committee has decided to take up the lead water crisis in Flint, Mich., and will hold a hearing on the scandal next week.

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce subcommittee on environment and the economy, and a separate subcommittee on health, will hold a joint hearing on the water crisis that has left 100,000 people in the eastern Michigan town unable to drink tap water. The hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. April 13.
