You need to select less biased "documentaries". Try reading the series of articles in the Detroit News for a relatively balanced handling of the issue. Snyder made some mistakes but Flint screwed the pooch by deciding to leave the Detroit water system to draw its water from the Flint River while waiting for a regional water system to get up and running. Flint River water dissolved the lime coating on the pipes protecting the residents from lead because it was more acidic and it wasn't properly treated. The blame was put squarely on the state because Flint was pissed off about going bankrupt and having an emergency manager in charge, but they made the decisions on where to source their water, and their staff handled the treatment. The whole thing was a fuckup, the DEQ should have had more oversight into the idiots at the Flint municipal water treatment, but calling Snyder corrupt is a flat out lie. There was and is no evidence of anything but incompetence on his part. Please be careful what you use for information, fren.

Pot put Whitmer in office. Snyder wasn't the reason. He was a lame Silicon Valley RINO, but he didn't run for re-election. His former AG did, Bill Scheutte. The 420 sites and leftist publications quoted him out of context to say he would take away all the pot, including medical. He was also a shitty candidate in general. There were first time voters showing up at the polls with cheat sheets telling them how to vote if they wanted legal weed. That put her over the top along with the rest of the top 4 offices in the executive branch.
