Driskell: Why Won't Walberg Hold Snyder Accountable?

Statement

Gretchen Driskell, candidate for Congress in Michigan's 7th District, has called for Congressman Walberg to hold Governor Snyder accountable for the part he played in the Flint water crisis by requiring Snyder testify in Washington at hearings before the House Oversight Committee, of which Tim Walberg is a member.

"I am disgusted that Congressman Walberg is allowing Gov. Snyder to sit at home while his very own Committee supposedly "investigates' the government failures that led to the ongoing crisis in Flint. Not only did the poisoning of children happen on Congressman Walberg's watch, but he is now refusing to hold responsible the very politicians directly involved," Driskell said.

Continued Driskell: "Right after graduating college, I drove a cab in the evenings to pay bills while starting out fresh in accounting. I think the roads in Washington are clear by now; I would gladly drive Governor Snyder to the Capitol if he doesn't know the way."

The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is scheduled to hold a hearing on the Flint water crisis next Wednesday, February 3rd. The Detroit Free Press reported today that Governor Snyder is not scheduled to testify.
