DETROIT (AP) — The AP has learned ex-Michigan Gov. Snyder and others have been told they’re being charged in Flint water scandal.
The city’s water system was contaminated with lead in 2014-15. It was also blamed for a deadly outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease. Two people with knowledge of the planned prosecution said the attorney general’s office has informed defense lawyers about indictments in Flint and told them to expect initial court appearances soon.

Is Snyder an R or a D? Usually when the perp is a republican, it is mentioned in the first sentence, dems are never identified.
was a R but a squishy one if I remember right. Didn’t save him from the left
Quads right but even so it was the Flint mayor and city council that chose to leave the Detroit water supply and start using the Flint river because they felt that they were being price gouged by Detroit. They have been in the process of building their own pipeline from Lake Huron just as Detroit did in the 70’s.
Snyder was GOP. I looked it up.
When was the last time you heard of a democrat being indicted?
Of course he was GOP!
Different Tim is right. Snyder (R) is being blamed for the Flint government’s failures.
It was a big screwup, followed by a big coverup.
Here’s the whole story, for anyone who cares to sit through it:

Snyder folded like a wet newspaper when this came out. The man spent his term trying to appease both sides and it’s biting him in the ass. Some never learn. The NERD Governor was how he sold himself and he played the part.
At least they’ve got a clean, honest, and decent governor now.
The people of Michigan picked Sunder because we had Jennifer Granholm before him. Snyder had to be knocked down to make way for Whitmer who is Just Granholm 2.0 with more weaponry due to Covid. He was the practice dummy for Trump. Create a crisis.
This is good maybe the Republicans will wake up and realize how evil the Democrats are. By the way it was the Democrat ran city of Flint that decided to use river water over Detroit water. The Detroit water plant is actually a good plant and we have clean water compared to many other parts of the country. Looks like Dems are on a Stalin type of purge I wonder if they will have Snyder’s family in a dungeon and have him sign his guilty papers or they will shoot his family.
I seem to remember him being super squishy. Can someone confirm?

Like a Stay-Puff Marshmallow.
Squishy like a jelly fish.
Waiting for YouTube/Twitter/Facebook/whatever to ban any references. Oh, wait. This was someone on the GOP side? It won’t happen
“Squishy” implies some kind of substance.
