Hundred Protest Flint Water Problems, Demand Governor Snyder Resignation

Snyder spoke about the long-term consequences of the crisis, saying the $28 million request won’t be the last budget request for Flint. Wednesday, Snyder plans to release all of his 2014 and 2015 emails regarding the Flint Water Crisis.

“No citizen of this great state should endure this kind of catastrophe”.

“We are praying for you, we are working hard for you, and we are absolutely committed to taking the right steps to effectively solving this crises”, Governor Snyder told the residents of Flint during his state of the state address before lawmakers at the state capitol in Lansing on Tuesday.

“You deserve better”, he told Flint residents.

“I think that we do need to know for sure what he knew and when he knew it, and it sounds like we may able to find that out in those emails. When did you know it. #flintwatercrisis”.

His words did little to quiet his critics.

The Governor of MI has apologized to the people of the city of Flint after exposing 100,000 if the city’s residents to lead poisoning in its water supply.

Attorney Cary McGehee said Tuesday the lawyers have set up a call center and 500 individuals-residents have so far registered to be part of this class action.

“Flint deserves an immediate response equal to the gravity of this ongoing public health emergency”.

Although admitting that “we all need to work together to fix the problems in Flint”, Greimel of Auburn Hills and Senate Minority Leader Jim Ananich of Flint said Snyder is losing the trust of Michiganians.

Flint’s man-made disaster has been festering for more than a year. She said what’s happened there is an embarrassment.

The funding – which Democrats said should have come sooner – would go toward educational services and nutrition for Flint children, bottled water, case management for those with elevated led blood levels, plumbing fixture replacement in Flint schools, among other things. “When do we want it?”

Flint’s drinking water became contaminated with lead in April 2014 while the city was under the control of a state-appointed emergency manager.

‘More has to be done and we have to reach out in every possible direction, ‘ Goodman said at a press conference. Residents quickly began complaining of water that smelled or was discolored.

Virginia Tech researchers found the water was highly corrosive.

Michigan’s top environmental regulator Dan Wyant resigned over the failure to ensure that the Flint River water was properly treated to keep lead from pipes from leaching into the water. The city has since switched back to the Detroit water system.

The announcement comes after the National Guard was deployed in the city to deliver bottled water door-to-door.

The Obama administration on Tuesday designated a point person to lead the federal response to a water crisis in a MI city.

“If you can’t drink the water, you shouldn’t be billed for it”, Schuette, whose duties include consumer protection, said on Twitter.

As Michigan’s Governor Rick Snyder addressed a packed House floor, nearly a thousand protesters were chanting just outside. “It’s the truth. He poisoned us. Stuff is revealed that hasn’t been revealed”, he said.

The suits will detail government officials’ culpability and will provide a more detailed timeline than the previously filed federal lawsuit, Hood said.
