Flint filter delivery casts doubt on what Snyder said

LANSING -- Gov. Rick Snyder's statement Monday that he wasn't aware of a problem with lead in Flint's drinking water until about Oct. 1 has prompted questions about his office's role in quietly delivering 1,500 water filters to the city in August.

Snyder's statement also raises questions about the speed and scope of the state's response since Oct. 1 and why state officials did not immediately instruct Flint residents, on Oct. 1, not to drink the water without a filter. A 10-point plan for Flint water that Snyder released Oct. 2 said the state was making water filters and water testing available to residents, but did not include a warning not to drink the water without a filter.

Now, more than three months later, the Michigan State Police and other state officials have begun delivering bottled water and water filters door-to-door in Flint. Snyder declared a state of emergency in Flint and Genesee County over the water issue Jan. 5.

The drinking water became contaminated after Flint, while under the control of a state-appointed emergency manager, engaged in cost-cutting and switched from Lake Huron drinking water treated by the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department to Flint River water treated by a city plant. The state Department of Environmental Quality acknowledged that it failed to require Flint to add needed corrosion-control chemicals to the water, causing lead to leach into drinking water from pipes and fixtures

Rick Snyder Ducks Question On What He Knew About Flint's Water
He says a task force will tell us later what he knew and when.

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) didn't want to get into details of what he knew and when about the Flint water crisis on Thursday.
In a July email, a top Snyder aide worried Flint residents were "basically getting blown off by us" over their concerns about high lead levels in the city's water. It wasn't until October that the state water agency admitted it had made a mistake that led to the poisoning of an untold number of children.
A reporter asked Snyder what he knew and when he knew it.
"Well, again, we're going through that whole process," Snyder said, speaking at a press conference with Flint Mayor Karen Weaver, a Democrat. Snyder and Weaver said they would be cooperating on the crisis response; Snyder said the independent task force he created in October would address the question of who knew what and when.

She'll ignore the part where the Democrat(ic) Party controlled city council and the Mayor worked to change the water and try to tell us that the Governor is the only complicit party. The reality is the people in Flint got hosed by their own city council.

Superfreak said:
