Gov. Rick Snyder is to leave Saturday on a week-long European trade mission, sparking criticism that he should stay in Michigan until Flint's drinking water is again safe to drink.

And Snyder, who on Monday promised to drink filtered tap water at work and at home for the next 30 days won't be bringing his jugs of Flint water with him.

"He pledged to drink it at home and at the office for at least 30 days, total," spokeswoman Anna Heaton said. "Traveling with jugs of water overseas isn’t feasible, but he’ll resume drinking water from Flint upon his return."

Snyder will lead a Michigan trade delegation on visits to Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the Netherlands, his office said in a news release Friday.
Resign you moron!
