How Rick Snyder doomed Flint from the start: Tax cuts for the ultra-rich, poison for the poor

How Rick Snyder doomed Flint from the start: Tax cuts for the ultra-rich, poison for the poor

"Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder doesn’t want you to know which corporations are paying to salvage his reputation in the wake of the lead poisoning of Flint’s children under his watch. In fact, when he was asked about it at a press conference in Flint on Wednesday, he walked out. At issue are two dark money non-.profits, Moving Michigan Forward and Celebrating the Power of Michigan, that Snyder uses to accept corporate donations to fund various projects, including paying out-of-state P.R. firm Mercury to manage public relations related to Flint."
