Wallace played for the Detroit Pistons from 2004-2009. Nicks is currently a wide receiver for the New York Giants.
Two years ago the state of Michigan, in a money saving decision, moved Flint’s water supply from Lake Hurton to the Flint River.
In order to make the water from the Flint River safe to drink, the government needed to add an anti-corrosive agent, which a class-action lawsuit alleges they did not do.
