Ex-Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder to be charged in Flint tainted water scandal

Former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and top officials in his administration have been indicted in the Flint water scandal that led to a deadly outbreak of Legionnaire’s disease, according to a report.

Snyder, who was in office when the state’s decision to alter the city’s water supply in 2014 flooded largely minority neighborhoods with lead-tainted water, will be charged by the state attorney general, the Associated Press said.

Sources close to the investigation told the wire service that Snyder’s former health department director, Nick Lyon, will be among those charged “soon” in the scandal.

State prosecutors are mum on the details, but agency spokeswoman Courtney Covington Watkins said investigators are “working diligently” on the case and “will share more as soon as we’re in a position to do so.”

Snyder left office two years ago.

Endorsed Biden I’m sure he knew this was coming hoping for a “friendly” judge

Oh believe me, there will be more... Negligence and malfeasance up and down the food chain on this one... not remotely a partisan thing, but a proof that government is utterly incompetent across both aisle and the entire spectrum.

He still had a little (r) after his name, so he is automatically guilty. Just another useful idiot rino.

I wonder what does lead tainted water have to do with legionnaires' disease?

As far as I know Legionnaires is caused by bacteria which live in air conditioner cooling towers.

In any case, why should it be odd to find lead in old plumbing? That is just the way it was done back in the day. The word plumbing comes from the Latin word for lead. Duh.
