Flint water crisis: Michigan governor calls for stricter lead-level regulations

State document lays out next steps for Flint but Rick Snyder does not specify what lead-testing regulations his administration will seek to strengthen

Michigan governor Rick Snyder said on Monday he wants the city of Flint and the entire state to have more stringent lead-level regulations than those which federal rules require.

In the long term, according to a state document laying out the next steps in Flint in four areas - water supply and infrastructure, health and human services, education and economic development - Michigan will comply with a "much higher standard".
