Your string of denials and lazy questions all are great examples of what's wrong with right wingers. I don't call them conservatives any more because you guys are about as radical as anybody can be.
In any case, do you recall what Truman kept on his desk? It said "the buck stops here". But he was a Democrat. Snyder should on your recommendation have "the buck passes here".
If you want, here is a good read:
DEQ: Flint water fix should have come by 2014

Ok, so I'm not going to spoon feed you any more links that you won't read. But I will recap what I've found with relatively little effort in a few hours of digging around on the internet. In 2011, when the first conversations were had regarding using Flint water, a report commissioned by Flint public works recommended treating the water with phosphates. For water treatment professionals, the reason for using phosphates is clear, it was necessary because river water is tends to be more corrosive than lake water. When, in 2013, the then emergency manager for Flint ordered the use of Flint river water, no treatment of the water with phosphate was included. The plan was approved by the Michigan DEQ. The man in charge of MDEQ was the governors man. In April 2014, Flint started using water from the Flint River. The following is a timeline from that point:
August and September 2014
City officials issue boil-water advisories after coliform bacteria are detected in tap water.
October 2014
The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality blames cold weather, aging pipes and a population decline.
“The city has taken operational steps to limit the potential for a boil-water advisory to re-occur.”
Stephen Busch, a district supervisor for the state’s Department of Environmental Quality
October 2014
A
General Motors plant in Flint stops using municipal water, saying it corrodes car parts.
January 2015
Detroit’s water system offers to reconnect to Flint, waiving a $4 million connection fee. Three weeks later, Flint’s state-appointed emergency manager, Jerry Ambrose, declines the offer.
February 2015
In a
memo for the governor, officials play down problems and say that the water is not an imminent “threat to public health.”
“It’s clear the nature of the threat was communicated poorly. It’s also clear that folks in Flint are concerned about other aspects of their water — taste, smell and color being among the top complaints.”
Memo for the governor
Feb. 18, 2015
104 parts per billion of lead are detected in drinking water at the home of Lee Anne Walters. Ms. Walters notifies the Environmental Protection Agency. Even small amounts of lead can cause lasting health and developmental problems in children. The E.P.A. does not require action until levels reach 15 parts per billion, but public health scientists say there is no safe level for lead in water.
The tale of woe goes on.

. ) to tie it to Snyder. Again all the way it seems he reacted appropriately to the information he was provided. Sounds to me that the approriate head already rolled. The Flint mayor who was ousted belonged to what party, btw? Another "governor's man"? So there is no smoking gun but you opportunists are weakly trying to throw the hangman's noose over just as of weak of a branch. Having recently read McCullough's 1000 page tome on Harry S, I can tell you that
