Media: GOP governor responsible for Mich. water crisis

Newsrooms have concluded that Republican Gov. Rick Snyder bears the brunt of the blame for the water crisis in Flint, Mich., explaining in multiple op-eds and reports that the Republican executive did not do enough to address the crisis.

“[T]he Flint disaster, three years in the making, is not a failure of government generally. It’s the failure of a specific governing philosophy: Snyder’s belief that government works better if run more like a business,” the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank wrote this week in a column titled “The Flint disaster is Rick Snyder’s fault.”
