Ava Cosentino - Flint Water Crisis

Summary:
Recently, there has been much chaos in Flint, Michigan due to their lead poisoned water supply. Residents are completely irate at the thought of their governor knowing the water was poisoned months before the actual fact was released to the public (there is said to be evidence), and are protesting for him to resign from office and to be arrested.


Analysis:
If it's true that the governor had knowledge of the poisoning nearly a year before it was announced publicly, then I too believe he should resign and possibly be tried for this. Gov. Rick Snyder not only put his people at risk, but because of this water poisoning 10 people died. He also claimed that this is his 'Katrina' as Hurricane Katrina was President Bush's disaster while he was in office. Hopefully the issue can be resolved soon and toxic water can stop being supplied from the Flint River.
