Genesee County Circuit Court Judge F. Kay Behm (click here) was one of two people nominated by President Joe Biden for federal judicial positions Wednesday, June 29.
Flint - Judge Elizabeth Kelly (click here) dismissed the charges for seven people accused of roles in the the Flint water crisis. Now, former Governor Rick Snyder is asking for the same to be done with his charges.
The decision by Judge Kelly was made because she said the indictments made by the one man grand jury were invalid.
Snyder was not a part of the decision last week because his case is in a different court room. However, following the dismissal, he is now urging his judge to do the same....
Snyder is trying to diminish the crimes committed by him in regard to Flint's water by stating the entire country has a problem with clean water. He says mistakes were made. Were they ever.
The fact of matter is that mistakes could have been avoided if Snyder paid attention to letters from the USA EPA when he was given directions to protect the people. Snyder ignored those letters and allowed the poisoned water to continue to flow into the homes of the people of Flint.
There may or may not be problems with water across the country, but, the Flint poisoning DIDN'T HAVE TO HAPPEN. The people of Flint had clean and high quality water to their homes, it wasn't until Snyder demanded Flint be exposed to contaminated river water that the poisoning occurred. That is very different from water problems in other cities and towns in the USA.
Months after charges (click here) were thrown out against former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder for his alleged role in the Flint Water Crisis, he says it’s time to focus on water issues not only in Flint, but across the state and country.
Snyder spoke live on WWJ Tuesday morning about his new cyber security company SensCy. WWJ’s Jonathan Carlson also asked the former governor if he had anything he wanted to say to the people of Flint to “put that issue to rest.”
