WASHINGTON POST ^ | 20 JANUARY 2016 | MARK BERMAN

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder apologized to the residents of Flint for a water crisis that has prompted outrage, federal scrutiny and lawsuits, vowing to seek long-term assistance for the city’s residents.

In his State of the State address on Tuesday night, Snyder said he was asking state lawmakers for $28 million to help residents reeling after Flint’s drinking water became contaminated with dangerously high levels of lead. He also vowed to release his emails related to Flint from 2014 and 2015.

Damn idiot ought to apologize for not arresting the commie slut Granholm for stealing $10 billion from property owners and giving it to “Cool Cities” liberal savages.

Rick is nothing more than another lying, thieving leftist. Michigan is a shithole run by shitheads, elected by assholes.

The Flint city council has two felons and two former bankruptcy folk on it.
Sociopaths unite.
One served something like 16 yrs for murder and is now on the city council.

Gov Snyder is trying to do the right thing.
Michael Moore and Cher are saying he should be arrested and executed.

You might think so but we moved here last year from Washington state and let me tell you, this state is heaven by comparison.

It reminds me of the quote by PJ O’Rourke, “The Republicans are the party that says ‘Government doesn’t work.’ Then they get elected and prove it.”

He did.

Watch the video where he explains exactly what happened. How the Flint city council, with two felons on it, voted for the water change.

Say what you like but he got this state out of tremendous debt. We have something like 585 million in the black now. He supports the 2A and I think he is awesome.

But then I just moved here last year from a truly leftist state, which most of you here have never experienced. Washington.

Didn’t Hillary already say this impacted primarily non-whites? She is desperate, and this idiot is giving her ammo.

Michael Savage played a clip months ago of Al Sharpton ranting about how blacks are impacted by high levels of “carbon” because they live near it. The fool was trying to mimic white leftists and couldn’t even do that right...
