ADVANCE FOR USE SUNDAY, JULY 2 - FILE - In this March 13, 2017, file photo, Liane Shekter Smith, former chief of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Office of Drinking Water, listens as a judge in Flint, Mich., denies motions to dismiss charges against five Department of Environmental Quality defendants related to the Flint water crisis. The state's legal bills continue to mount in Flint's man-made water crisis and costs are only expected to balloon as Attorney General Bill Schuette's outside team of investigators turns toward prosecuting a dozen current or former state employees or appointees whose criminal defenses are being covered by taxpayers.
