If there is funding to be withdrawn it should begin with Governor Snyder. The current defendants were a result of uncontrolled power out of the Governor's office. There aren't suppose to be dictators in the USA.
The same Michigan State Congress members complaining now about the cost of the attorneys and otherwise, were the same people that voted for the revised "Emergency Manager's Law." The original law was suppose to support school systems in Michigan cities with troubled economies. This new law was written by the very people that are playing politics with the payment of defense attorneys.
When are the charges to the Governor going to come down the pipeline? He is the one person completely responsible for the deaths and injury to the people of Flint. WHEN DOES THAT HAPPEN! Snyder knew full well what he was doing and NEVER stopped to ask if he should be doing it!
Snyder is guilty of 10 counts of manslaughter. He is guilty of the crime of killing a human being without malice aforethought, or otherwise in circumstances not amounting to murder.

Attorney Alexander S. Rusek of White Law PLLC made his request in an email to MLive-The Flint Journal.
Rusek represents Howard Croft, former Flint Department of Public Works director, who has been charged with false pretenses and conspiracy to commit false pretenses for his role in allowing the Flint water crisis to occur.
Special prosecutor Todd Flood has also informed Croft and Genesee District Court that he intends to add a charge of involuntary manslaughter against Croft -- also related to the water emergency....
..."The right (click here) to have legal counsel is a bedrock principle of fairness in this country, and Senator Ananich's comments only serve to inflame and prejudice a potential jury. They are inappropriate and should be publicly retracted."...
