Dennis Muchmore, (click here) Snyder's former chief of staff, writes an e-mail to the governor dated Sept. 25, 2015, claiming that some in Flint were turning the issue of children's exposure to lead into "a political football." He said the real responsibility for the water crisis rested with the county, city and KWA. "I can't figure out why the state is responsible except that Dillon did make the ultimate decision so we're not able to avoid the subject."
Snyder is incompetent to carry out the laws of Michigan and the fact children were having elevated lead levels in their blood is proof. Snyder has to leave that level of power.
When a sitting Governor becomes mired in politics while children are being poisoned, he is incompetent. There isn't anything else to say. If his Chief of Staff is nothing more than a political watchdog, what good is it?
The lead detection should have occurred long before it showed up in children.
Look, the reason children are tested for lead levels is because it is a method of proving and finding the source in their environment. No one expects an entire group of children to have lead levels.
The idea a water source is where the culprit is, was never suppose to exist. Lead in paint, somewhere in old housing, possibly playgrounds once used as commercial sites of business or land that children venture into that were never intended to be a playground is what people expect to find, but, water was never suppose to prove to be the source.
This is very bad news. Children are tested to be sure they are safe from lead exposure because it does such damage. These are decisions society made a long time ago. No child is suppose to grow up with any source of lead exposure. At the very most there may be a child here or a child there, but, never an entire group.
Snyder and his staff are completely indictable in these findings. They substituted SOCIAL AND LEGAL NORMS for their own financial standards. This is complete dismantling of Michigan and federal laws.
This is very serious and reaches right into the political standards of his administration over and above the laws of Michigan and this country.
