Michigan governor: I have nothing to hide

by Drew Salisbury

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder has apologized for the current public health crisis in Flint, which has left 10 dead and tens of thousands sick since the city switched its water supply source from Lake Huron to the highly corrosive Flint River in 2014. So far, Snyder has resisted calls for his resignation and/or arrest despite the fact that his administration ignored tons of complaints from the community and medical professionals about the water — which was so contaminated with lead the EPA deemed it “toxic waste” — but Wednesday the Snyder offered a mea culpa in the form of transparency: He released all of his emails related to the disaster from 2014 and 2015.

Let’s take a look and see if we can’t get to the bottom of this shit show.





Well, that certainly clears things up, Governor Snyder! It’s clear by this redacted email that you’ve done everything in your power to tackle this problem swiftly and effectively. Transparency at its opaquest.

To be fair, not all 274 pages of the release are blacked out. Those that aren’t read like this:


“Can’t figure out why the state is responsible”? Wow. Culpability at its finest, folks.

Governor. When this is all said and done, you will have nowhere to hide. You and your buddies poisoned an entire city, on purpose. I am not a rocket scientist, but I am smart enough to know that even if you can beat the criminal charges, there will be at least 1 resident pissed enough to hunt you down.
