Flint, Mich. — On September 22, 2025, the office of Mayor Sheldon Neeley issued the following statement to the Courier from Neeley:
Public trust and relief for Flint families remain the top priorities of the City of Flint. After years of waiting, it is essential that this settlement process moves forward with transparency and urgency.
On Friday, September 19, 2025, Mayor Sheldon Neeley sent a letter to Judge Judith Levy requesting local resources and communication support for residents, so that families can have clear information and assistance as payments move forward. The City’s mission is simple: to urge decision-makers to expedite the release of funds.
“The people of Flint have carried the burden of this crisis for far too long. They deserve not just promises, but progress,” said Mayor Sheldon Neeley. ”I will continue to push until these dollars are in the hands of Flint families.”
The City of Flint will continue working alongside our federal delegation to advocate for the timeline outlined by the Special Master — indicating a late summer to early fall release — as the benchmark we are actively pursuing.
