Statement by Congressman Dan Kildee on Gov. Snyder Agreeing to Testify Before Congress on Flint Water Crisis
February 12, 2016

Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05) issued the following statement today after Michigan Governor Rick Snyder agreed to testify before Congress on the Flint water crisis after previously declining multiple requests to do so:

“I am glad to see that Governor Snyder has agreed to testify under oath about the Flint water crisis after declining multiple requests to appear before Congress. The Governor’s administration and his state-appointed emergency financial managers created this crisis and he must answer questions so that the whole truth can be found. Flint families deserve answers from the Governor and immediate solutions from the state about what is being done to make things right for the people of Flint.

1. So, they settled on the acceptable questions and now it's showtime.

[Siwsan]

2. I'm hoping the outrage will overcome their compulsion to protect their own

This situation is pretty much the perfect example of indefensible.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

3. I suspect it will turn into a "plenty of blame to go around on both sides" type of deal.

Followed by "time to look forward."

[Siwsan]

4. They keep trying to spread the blame, but Congressman Kildee just isn't letting them getaway with it

He is ADAMANT about where the blame belongs and he is a fierce representative for Flint, because this is personal for him, too.

8. Precisely - the more he becomes a liability for ReTHUGs and their presidential candidates, the

sooner he will resign.

5. I say they remove him from office

and appoint an "interim federal emergency manager".

[Siwsan]

6. They could appoint Mark Schauer!

Had he, or Virg Bernero been elected, none of this would have ever happened.

7. And now the end is near

Step down Snyder and await your indictment - in the mean time - go Cheney yourself
