BENTON HARBOR — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s proposal to give Benton Harbor $20 million to replace lead water service lines in the city over the next five years is great, but not enough, said Jill Ryan, executive director of Freshwater Future based in Petoskey.

“Five years is still a long time. The residents need immediate assistance to get access to filters and clean drinking water,” she said when contacted by phone Thursday.
