Gov. Rick Snyder compares flooding of a Lake House to S.E. MI Residents Impacted by Tuesday Storms

Here we go AGAIN.....

"As exclusively reported on IUNT December 30, 2013 or four days after Christmas, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder was tardy in response to Mid-Michigan residents last Winter experiencing severe power outages during an massive ice storm.

It would appear Gov. Snyder, vying for re-election on November 4, has yet to change an overall dismissive response to Michigan residents in midst of temporary crisis.

This time the residents are in S.E. Michigan. Detroit, Warren, Michigan and other surrounding communities adjacent to the heavily traveled expressways of I-75 and I-696 continue to dig out from massive rain storms flooding streets, basements and businesses."

Snyder's just showing how out of touch he is. Hopefully in November he'll be voted out. Louisiana1976 Aug 2014 #4

If it were mud, or snow, or oobleck, or propaganda out of Lansing or the Koch bros.....

but for water, there's two or three choices: pump, sump, or dump something absorbent and dig that out.

And Snyder is a jerk of the first water.

And considering many basements were FLOODED in this storm, creating debris for clean up.....yea, some digging out was indeed involved.
