Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder contends he wasn’t aware of the full extent of the water crisis in Flint until October 2015, although his top aide was concerned about ignoring the city’s citizens eight months earlier.

In newly released emails, Dennis Muchmore, Snyder’s chief of staff until late last year, expressed his concern multiple times throughout 2015 that he felt like the state was ignoring Flint residents who were complaining about their water.
