"It's time for Rahm Emanuel, the mayor of Chicago, and Rick Snyder, the governor of Michigan, to decide to spend more time with their respective families. By their misuse of their offices, they have forfeited the right to hold them anymore. They have left us with a Hobson's Choice of which is the worse malfeasance under the color of law: covering up the riddling of a young man by your rogue police force, or covering up the fact that your policies have sentenced hundreds of young people in Flint to the lives of mental and emotional damage and upheaval to which lead poisoning inevitably leads. These are American horror stories, the both of them. It is time for them to end.

I agree. What say you?
 
I agree.
Rahm has always been known as a crook anyway, so nothing he does surprises me. He needs to step down (or be forced to).

I'd voted for Snyder....but agree that he was completely negligent in this case and he also should have to step down (or be forced to). If it's true he ignored concerned about the water, then he's as at fault as everyone else involved.

Both should resign ASAP. This is literally a non-partisan issue since one is from each party and both are scum.

I agree as well. And I would agree if they were both Republicans.
 
the water poisoning people {lead} starts out clean, potable as it falls, then it comes into contact with the earth and steadily degrades from there...treating it then delivering it through lead pipes is counter-productive, but when the pipes were installed, lead poisoning meant getting shot in a gunfight at high noon...

the gov. and mayor were aware of the lead,,for whatever reasons they chose to [at least for a while] permit the exposure at the risk to the consumers...
thats unacceptable...
 
shame ALL politicians that do the same aren't made to resign or go to jail, if that were to happen, we'd have slim-pickin's for politicians left..........
 
Governor Snyder should resign for letting Democrats run flint Michigan...anyone who thinks Democrats can run a city are not fit to hold office.

That's for sure. My husband said "well there goes getting another Republican as Governor for a while" (he doesn't keep up on politics very much, lucky him)....and I told him not necessarily. He hired Democrats to fix the city. We've all seen the results of doing that in several cities. He should have known better.
 
why should governor Snyder resign because flint's democratic party mayor and city council screwed up the water supply in an attempt to cut corners? why shouldn't THEY be in jail, for endangering public safety?

this is the problem with the looney left - they always want to let their own incompetent politicians off the hook, and instead blame republicans who had nothing to do with the problem.

Everything, I mean EVERYTHING in your post is incorrect.

Gov Snyder appointed an emergency manager who took over Flint. That emergency manager made the decision to switch the water source from Lake Huron/Detroit to the Flint River.
Even GM refused to use Flint River water in their plants, on their machinery.

You seem to forget that Gov Snyder appointed an emergency manager to take over Flint. That emergency manager (not a Dem) made the decision to switch the water source. That's why Gov Snyder is ultimately responsible.

who was that emergency manager?

According to MLive, state Treasurer Andy Dillon told Flint Emergency Manager Ed Kurtz of the decision in a letter yesterday.

Dillon made the decision to allow the city to enter into a contract with the KWA subject to the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department making a “final best offer to the Genesee County and the city of Flint” on Monday.
