FLINT, MI A U.S. District Court judge says she intends to rule by Jan. 21 on whether to grant preliminary approval of a historic settlement of civil lawsuits related to the Flint water crisis.
In a brief virtual federal court hearing Wednesday, Jan. 13, Judge Judith Levy told attorneys involved in the cases that said she intends to file her decision on the $641-million settlement in the next eight days.
Levy had initially hoped to issue her ruling by this week but said Wednesday she was not yet prepared to do so.
