Former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder began an appointment at the Harvard John F. Kennedy School of Government, drawing ire of many who fault him for the lead water crisis in Flint, Michigan
Snyder has been criticized for his implementation of an emergency management law in 2011, which was used to address the city's projected $25 million deficit. The law essentially turned over control of the city to an emergency manager and it was an emergency manager who, in 2014, decided to switch the city's water source to the Flint River while building a new pipeline from Lake Huron in order to save the city money.
Snyder said he was not in possession of the items that were seized because he had turned those materials over to the state when he left office.Snyder's Harvard appointment sparked furor in Michigan among Democrats and progressive activists who point the finger at him for allowing the water crisis to take place.
