FLINT, Mich. (AP) — The latest on lead contamination of drinking water in Flint, Michigan (all times local): 1 p.m. The Michigan House has approved $30 million to help pay Flint residents' water bills in the aftermath of the city's lead-contamination crisis. The lawmakers unanimously OK'd the measure Thursday. It now goes to the Senate, which is expected to approve it and send it to Gov. Rick Snyder for final approval. Residents would have about 65 percent of the drinkable water portion of their bills paid by the state. Residential customers would still have to pay for water used to flush toilets or do laundry. Some Democrats are critical, saying the state should pay for more than 65 percent. If consumed, lead can cause developmental delays and learning disabilities in children. ___ 10:40 a.m. An artist says he's used lead-infused paint to create a portrait of Gov. Rick Snyder amid Flint's crisis with lead-tainted water. Michael Dykehouse of Ann Arbor tells The Detroit News (http://detne.ws/1KrQj85 ) the white paint that's made with lead is "part of my vocabulary as an artist." The 41-year-old used it in the painting this month as a permanent reminder of children affected in Flint. If consumed, lead can cause developmental delays and learning disabilities. Dykehouse unveiled the painting online this week and says he wants to sell it, with some of the proceeds going to a Flint nonprofit. Snyder has apologized for his administration's role in the lead contamination of Flint's water supply. He's faced criticism and protests, but has said he's focusing on resolving the crisis. ___ 7:30 a.m. Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder says he's hopeful that the federal government will expand Medicaid coverage to people under 21 and pregnant women who have been exposed to Flint's lead-contaminated water. Snyder's remarks came in a statement Thursday about Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell's visit to Flint that's scheduled for later in the day. Snyder has said about 15,000 more Flint residents would benefit if the government approves the request. Burwell plans to tour a health center and meet with local leaders. Also Thursday, the state House is expected to approve spending $30 million to help cover the water bills of Flint residents. For 18 months, Flint used the Flint River for drinking water. A lack of corrosion control in the water caused lead to leach from old plumbing.
