[Michigan] House minority leader calls on Snyder to resign

Source: Detroit Free Press

LANSING -- House Minority Leader Tim Greimel on Wednesday called on Gov. Rick Snyder to resign over the Flint drinking water public health crisis, saying "it is inconceivable that the governor wasn't aware of what was going on" long before Oct. 1.

"The governor must have known back in 2014 about how serious this water contamination problem was," Greimel, D-Auburn Hills, said at a news conference Wednesday at his Capitol office. If he didn't, "he's the worst manager ever."

Greimel made his remarks after the voluntary release by Snyder of thousands of e-mails related to Flint drinking water dating to 2011, the year he took office. The e-mails included ones from Snyder's top two legal advisers in the fall of 2014 recommending that Flint be moved off Flint River water immediately and back onto the Detroit water system.
