Governor Rick Snyder caused one of the biggest disasters in Michigan. The flint water crisis. Governor Snyder switched the Flint water system which was connected to the Detroit water system to the Flint River. And right away people started noticing severe changes to their water. This was caused from the water pipes corroding and lead leaking into the water. The water that everyone uses, and that we all need to drink. The water started corroding GM’s car parts because of the flint river water.

The third and last reason why governor Snyder should be recalled is he tried to hide this from us. Governor Snyder’s administrators warned him about this even before he switched the water systems.

And even after he switched the systems and he noticed the difference in the water he still tried to keep it a secret from all of us.
Some people also believe that Governor Snyder should not be recalled. They believe that he should not be recalled because he apologized. And that everyone makes mistakes big or small. Also because he is trying to fix the problem now. And because he changed the water systems
