I don't know the governor but when has a liberal ever taken responsibility for anything?
He is just your typical politician. Too bad silly partisans fail to see this and promote stupid divisive rhetoric.This bonehead is an evil man and should serve hard time for what he did to the people of Flint, Michigan.
Rick Snyder's Misleading Claim About Who Changed Flint's Water
At his annual State of the State address on Tuesday, Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) accepted blame for the water crisis in Flint and offered an explanation for how it started.
"This crisis began in the spring of 2013, when the Flint City Council voted 7-1 to buy water from the Karegnondi Water Authority," he said.
It's simpler than that: Snyder's government gave Flint bad water treatment advice, and the city got bad water. And it's also more complicated: City officials did play a role, but Snyder's version of events oversells it.
"The governor's been trying to use that line -- that action that was taken by the city council -- to remove himself from this problem," former Flint City Council member Josh Freeman told "So That Happened," the HuffPost Politics podcast.

Partisans quickly reveal themselves as such on this board for sure.

Ya cause after all the 45 years before 2011 were not democrats that so badly ran the city that it failed so miserably that the State had to step in. LOL you are beyond stupid.So for 50 years the State controlled the budget? REALLY? You do know the emergency manager was a democrat right?So if the Governor is responsible for this then who is responsible for all the democratic controlled cities that still have lead pipes for water delivery? Ohh wait, let me guess.... NOT a democrat right?Snyder is a piece of crap from the get go and long before this occurred. But, it's been fun watching the defend a republican folk operate as cheer leaders.
Flint did not control their budget, hon. The STATE did. Another emergency manager was appointed to Flint.
Since 2011 and appointed by Snyder. Snyder is big on emergency managers. For all intensive purposes the rest of the elected officials in those cities don't have any power once the emergency manager steps in. This has been a problem since Snyder came into office. A major problem.
April 2014 and nobody moved. The DEQ has already admitted it's failure. Susan Hedman, regional Chief of the EPA, resigned. You can read Snyder's emails. By early 2015 it becomes apparent that Snyder doesn't give a damn. Yet, appeals for money for repairs are coming in.
So, we are up to 1.5 billion to repair the infrastructure per the mayor. All of the crap in the houses such as water heaters will have to be done by the people themselves. That's not even touching medical. That's not even touching disability later on. So, you have over 8,000 children now plus the number of pregnant women.
And you think I give a shit if the emergency manager was a Democrat? Really?

LOL you don't get to pretend that the problems only been since 2011. Getting called on your ignorance embarrasses you I realize but you should have known better then to claim that a couple years was all that mattered. Flint had 40 YEARS to fix their water problem while being run by DEMOCRATS. They did such a piss poor job they drove the city into bankruptcy and got taken over by the State. And who did the Governor send to run the shithole? A Democrat that utterly failed again.
