From The Hill:
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) is turning down a request from House Democrats that he testify about his role in Flint, Mich.’s drinking water crisis.
Snyder spokeswoman Anna Heaton said Monday that the governor won’t attend on Wednesday because he’s due to present his annual budget proposal that day in Michigan.
It will be the second congressional hearing on Flint’s lead contamination, and the second at which Snyder will not testify.
Rep. Dan Kildee (D), who represents and lives in Flint, called Snyder’s refusal “deeply disappointing.”
…
The Democrats’ hearing later this week will feature Flint Mayor Karen Weaver (D), pediatrician Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha and other experts and stakeholders. No one will appear on behalf of Snyder or the state.

This homicidal monster thinks he can simply not show up, and what — his constituents will, over time, forget he willfully poisoned them? Unlikely. I say arrest Snyder now — he is an accomplice to at least ten murders and thousands of attempted murders.
