After failing to win the Democratic nomination to oppose Snyder in the gubernatorial campaign of 2010, he was invited to serve as State Treasurer.

The memos Snyder released say Dillon was the official who made the call to OK the switch to Flint River water.

Dillon said he thought Flint wouldn't be using the water to drink. Honest.
