Toxic Water In Michigan is killing people

Toxic Water In Michigan Begins And Ends With Governor Rick Snyder

We trust our government when it comes to clean water, clean air, and other safety measures, but Republicans definitely don't want Americans to trust government. It's in their interests to see to it that government is untrustworthy and unreliable.

Which is why Rick Snyder's action (or inaction) with regard to the water in Flint, Michigan is so utterly contemptible. He should be recalled now. He should be impeached, even.

A very good report. She really hammers Gov. Snyder.
