Sign the petition: Demand that Congress subpoena Michigan's governor now

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, Chair of House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform

On Wednesday, February 3, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held a hearing to investigate the terrible decisions that led to the Flint, Michigan water crisis.

So far, the committee subpoenaed three federal and state officials, a Flint resident, and the researcher who exposed the cover-up of this man-made crisis. One name was conspicuously absent--Governor Rick Snyder, whose woeful mismanagement of state agencies and emergency managers exposed an entire city to lead poison.

Governor Snyder has already admitted to failing Flint residents. Still, the Republican-led Oversight committee and chair Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) seem to be shielding Snyder from scrutiny for his role in the Flint water catastrophe.

Governor Rick Snyder appointed the emergency managers and gave them the power to override local government. Governor Snyder appointed the MDEQ director who buried evidence of elevated lead levels in the water.

Governor Snyder circumvented local leadership for years and now the Republican-controlled oversight committed is helping him wash his hands clean of all the controversy.

The 18 Democrats serving on the oversight committee signed a letter demanding another hearing to subpoena Governor Snyder and all the emergency managers he appointed to govern Flint. To date, Republicans in the committee have ignored their requests and focused their investigation on the federal Environmental Protection Agency.

Governor Rick Snyder needs to be held accountable for his actions during the Flint water crisis. A thorough investigation is incomplete without testimony about his role in the crisis. Subpoena Governor Snyder now.
