FLINT, Mich. (AP) — The latest on Flint's lead-tainted water (all times local):

Craigslist founder Craig Newmark has pledged to donate 100 cases of water for every $20 donated to fundraisers on a charitable crowdfunding site for Flint, the city with lead-tainted drinking water.
CrowdRise announced Newmark's plans on Monday. Craigconnects, Newmark's online philanthropic initiative, will make donations until Newmark hits the match goal of $50,000.
Newmark, who lived in Michigan for 10 years, says "we need to get folks from the across the U.S. to support the people of Flint right now."
CrowdRise fundraising campaigns for Flint have raised more than $400,000. The site has worked on Flint efforts with musicians Pearl Jam, Jack White and Big Sean.
High lead levels have been detected in Flint's water since it switched from Detroit's system and began drawing from the Flint River.

Michigan Democrats are questioning whether an investigation by the state's attorney general into Flint's lead-tainted water will be impartial.
They note that special counsel Todd Flood, a lawyer and former prosecutor, donated thousands of dollars to the political campaigns of Republican Attorney General Bill Schuette and Republican Gov. Rick Snyder.
Democratic Party Chairman Brandon Dillon says Schuette's appointment of Flood is "incomprehensible." Democratic state Rep. LaTonya Garrett is asking U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch to open a federal investigation instead.
Flood, a former prosecutor now in private practice, says he has given money to Democrats, too, and such contributions will have no bearing on his ability to conduct an impartial investigation. Schuette says it "doesn't matter" who Flood has given money to and a thorough probe will be done.
Officials at the local, state and federal levels have resigned in connection with Flint's water crisis.

Michigan's attorney general has named a former prosecutor as special counsel to investigate whether laws were broken during the process that left Flint with lead-tainted water.
Bill Schuette said Monday that former Wayne County assistant prosecutor Todd Flood will spearhead his office's probe with assistance from Andy Arena, the former head of Detroit's FBI office.
The Republican attorney general also said his office is reviewing what can be done to prevent Flint residents from being billed for water.
Schuette's office represents both the people of Michigan and state government.
Schuette says appointing the special counsel will prevent conflicts between him, his investigation team and the team defending the state against water-related lawsuits.
Republican Gov. Rick Snyder has apologized for regulatory failures and other things that led to Flint's crisis. Federal investigations also are underway.

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette says a former prosecutor and a former head of the Detroit FBI will play key roles in his office's investigation into Flint's water crisis.
Schuette issued an update on the investigation Monday morning, saying in a statement that all involved "will do our job thoroughly and let the chips fall where they may."
Schuette says Todd Flood, a former assistant prosecutor in Wayne County, will spearhead Schuette's investigation and serve as special counsel. He'll be joined by Andy Arena, who led Detroit's FBI office from 2007 until 2012.
The announcement comes ahead of a Monday morning news conference.
Schuette, a Republican, announced Jan. 15 he would investigate what, if any, Michigan laws were violated in the process that left Flint's drinking water contaminated with lead.
