MI Gov. Rick Snyder Holds State Of The State Address: Everything Sucks

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder Addresses Flint’s Water Crisis And Failing Detroit SchoolsMichigan’s Republican Governor Rick Snyder had to address his state Tuesday night on the heels of two huge crises and calls for his resignation and arrest. Protesters have been outside the governor’s offices nearly all month, and the hashtag #ArrestSnyder has been trending.

The governor has been under heavy criticism ever since it was learned that the city of Flint, Mich. had been poisoned with lead through the water ever since they changed their water source to the Flint River which then drained into corroded lead pipes and carried water into the city. This was a cost-saving move and was a debacle from the start. Within two months Michigan Department of Health and Human Services reported a spike in Legionnaires Disease — 87 cases have been reported in the two months after the water source change in the Flint area, which resulted in 10 deaths. Marc Edwards, a researcher from Virginia Tech studying the lead poisoning, told the Free Press there was a “very strong likelihood” the “dramatic” increase in the disease was due to the water source.

The second crises the governor had to address tonight involves Detroit Public Schools. Teachers are fed up with the deplorable conditions of their schools, so they took to Twitter to post pictures of the hazardous conditions they face.

REPUBLICAN AT THEIR BEST!!!! LMFAO!!
