Governor Rick Snyder devoted most of his State of the State speech to the Flint water crisis.
Governor Snyder said the Flint water crisis was a failure of government on every level.
And he said the state has a responsibility to act.
“To you, the people of Flint, I say tonight, as I have before, I am sorry and I will fix it.”
The governor asked the Legislature to approve a 28 million dollar emergency appropriation for Flint and said a longer-term strategy to address water infrastructure in Flint and the rest of the state is under development.
The governor also promised to make public all his e-mails related to the Flint water crisis so people can get a better grasp on what went wrong.
