I don't want Snyder to resign. I want him to be forced to live in Flint and
to drink the water along with the rest of his cronies.

I would support using Federal dollars to assist Flint's crisis, if
certain conditions were met by the state of Michigan. First, Snyder
must resign as governor. Second, he must repay his governor's salary
for the past two years. Third, the people of Michigan must be allowed
to elect those who govern them.
If these basic terms are not agreed upon, the US government will
impose severe sanctions on all officials supporting Snyder. If
sanctions do not force the buggers out, then the US will deploy troops
for the purpose of escorting Snyder and his cronies to the Michigan
state border, with instructions that they must never cross back.
In brief, I do not support putting any Federal money into the greasy,
grubby hands of a tyrant who has already proven he puts Profit ahead
of People. If Michigan were some separate little Muslim nation, we
would have already infiltrated and overthrown Snyder and left the
government in shreds.

Snyder to seek extension of federal emergency in Flint Matt Helms , Detroit
Free Press The state of Michigan will ask the federal government to extend
the
state of emergency declaration in the Flint water crisis from April to
August, Gov. Rick Snyder said today. The move would continue federal
assistance
that pays for bottled water, water filters and filter cartridges that remove
lead from Flint's water supply, Snyder said after a meeting of the Flint
Water
Interagency Coordinating Committee, the group of state, county and local
officials that's organizing the response to the water crisis. The emergency
declaration
ends April 14, and the state will ask the federal government to extend it to
Aug. 14, Snyder said. The declaration also would help pay for continued
water
testing. 'We're going through that application extension process now, so
that should be going in relatively soon,' the governor said. 'I hope it gets
granted.
It would be a big help again during this crisis. The Federal Emergency
Management Agency didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on
what an
extension would entail. Snyder also said the coordinating committee isn't
looking at an exact date for when Flint's water supply ' which has been
contaminated
with lead and other hazards since the city switched from Detroit's municipal
water to the more corrosive Flint River in April 2014 ' will be considered
safe to use. He said that declaration will only be made based on scientific
testing of the water supply at sentinel sites chosen by the U.S.
Environmental
Protection Agency. Snyder said he expects another round of test results from
the sentinel sites early next week, which will help set benchmarks through
at least a couple more rounds of tests. The EPA says the ongoing tests have
found that the addition of phosphates to control corrosion of pipes ' a
treatment
that the city did not use when it switched water sources ' is improving
Flint's water quality, but it remains unsafe to drink without filters.
Snyder also
defended the use of $800,000 in taxpayer dollars as part of a legal defense
fund, a move criticized by the liberal group Progress Michigan as an
inappropriate
use of public funds as investigations continue into which state and federal
decisions were made that lead to the water crisis. He denied it was a
personal
legal defense fund. 'As a practical matter, these decisions were in the
capacity as a public official in the state of Michigan, and so this is a
cost to
the state of Michigan,' Snyder said. 'It's to help with the investigations
and such. It's unfortunate that amount of resources may be required. And I
wish
it wasn't. But as a practical matter, this is the appropriate way to do it.
Snyder declined to estimate what the ultimate cost will be to replace
Flint's
pipes and establish the long-term health supports and other resources needed
to help people in Flint who've suffered lead poisoning. He said the state
would be transparent and honest about the costs, and will 'make sure we're
measuring where these resources are going, and that people can see it's
making
a difference in people's lives. Contact Matt Helms: 313-222-1450 or'
