RICK SNYDER

This can has been kicked down the road for 60 years. Enough is enough!!!

I'm a proud Republican - there's no issue with that at all, so why can't I be a proud Republican and just try to solve problems?

I'm very proud of the auto industry in Michigan.

But as a practical matter, Detroit's the sports city in the country.

So if you want great sports, Michigan's the place to be.

To you, the people of Flint, I say, as I have before, I am sorry and I will fix it. No citizen of this great state should endure this kind of catastrophe. Government failed you. Federal, state and local leaders by breaking the trust you placed in us.

I have a responsibility to tell the truth. The truth about what we've done, and what we'll do.

I'd like to address the people of Flint. Your families face a crisis. A crisis you did not create and could not have prevented. I want to speak directly, honestly and sincerely to let you know we are praying for you, we are working hard for you, and we are absolutely committed to taking the right steps to effectively solve this crisis.
