FLINT, MI -- The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on Flint's water crisis will be aired live on cable network C-SPAN.

A notice on station's website states the hearing is set to begin at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 3 and air on C-SPAN 3.

The committee witness list includes Virginia Tech professor Marc Edwards, Keith Creagh, director of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Flint Township and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency representatives.

Former Flint Emergency Manager Darnell Earley, who is leaving his position as Detroit Public Schools emergency manager Feb. 29, has told the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that he will not testify about how the Flint water crisis unfolded despite being on the witness list.

Several people, including State Sen. Minority Leader Jim Ananich, D-Flint, and U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., who issued a statement saying Earley's refusal to testify hurts the committee's search for answers about how Flint's water crisis was allowed to happen.

Democrats, who make up a minority of the committee, have already complained that Snyder himself was not called to testify.

"At Wednesday's hearing, we won't hear from the governor, any of the emergency managers he appointed in Flint, or anyone else from the state who was involved in making decisions that led to this crisis," said Cumming in the statement.

The Flint Journal-MLive could not immediately reach Earley or a representative for U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the oversight committee, for comment.
