I sure hope you are not just being optimistic, there needs to be some REAL payback regarding this monumental injustice. let slimy Snyder get slapped for lying to congress, first of all.

his rubber stamp congress won't do anything so let the feds get him. his type just doesn't understand how corrosive systemic corruption is to the body politic. if they let him get away with this, the nationwide race to the bottom just got nuclear power, IOW other governors and such will see the coast is clear for them to do similar evils with just rewards and no repercussions.

They're not all his doing.
His predecessor Granholm (D) appointed a bunch of them.

That's not true.

He has spent the bulk of his term in office fighting the state legislature to get funding for most things.
His own party tried to get enough ballot signatures to force a recall vote to ballot TWICE.

He's still fighting with this party who has had the majority of seats in each chamber of the legislature through his term.

You can say most bad things about the state GOP controlled legislature and they are true, but being a rump stamp is not one of them!! !

He will probably get charged with something from the feds, that's why he has lawyered up with the state footing a $1.2 Million bill.

Then Granholm should be answering some questions, too.

She didn't give EMs full control.
Snyder changed the law to it's current form and appointed Flint's EM.

Quote:

The documents and emails showed that Governor Snyder literally ignored the studies showing the toxicity and lead was way above legal limits in the Flint River, in order to deal a massive blow to Detroit Water Department, pushing the Detroit Water Department into insolvency.
Governor Snyder and his administration documents and emails showed they were hell bent on selling Detroit Water Department as promised to a very big GOP donor, who was one of the biggest funder of the Governor's election and reelection campaigns.

So if I understand this right, it was not a cover up after the fact, but a deliberate choice to poison children in order to achieve a political favour for his "donors".

Wow

I don't know what to say.
That's f****d up.

That's even worse than Minamata.

Frankly, a lot of people here in'Murrica could care less what happens in Flint, or anywhere else, for that matter. Why? The NIMBY principle (Not in my back yard)

if the rich keep crapping on the poor, there will be widespread disobedience, as the poor will have nothing left to lose. they can't shoot us all.

But as we clearly outnumber them, we can hang them all. :twisted:

Now watch the usual suspects on WP attack me for fomenting class envy and class warfare.
