declines???? are you fucking kidding me? declines????



(CNN)In the midst of the water crisis in Flint, Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has declined an invitation to testify at a hearing Wednesday before the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee about children affected by lead in the water.

Snyder said he couldn't testify because he has to deliver a budget presentation to the state legislature that day, according to his spokesman, Dave Murray.

That presentation is expected to detail "significant resources directed to long-term plans to help the people of Flint," Murray told CNN.

The committee that wanted Snyder to testify wrote to him saying that Congress "has not heard testimony from you on the Flint water crisis."
