Because they broke the law.

Because they broke the law.

Allegedly, you are innocent until proven guilty.

honest questin, how is snyder responsible? what law did he break?

 

[fanrwing]

The law of supply and demand.
There is only one Governor spot and Nessle demand that spot be her’s in 6 years. These charges just put a lot of votes in her column and no doubt lots of cash will go to her campaign.

According to the AG -

750.478 Willful neglect of duty; public officer or person holding public trust or employment; penalty.

Sec. 478.
When any duty is or shall be enjoined by law upon any public officer, or upon any person holding any public trust or employment, every willful neglect to perform such duty, where no special provision shall have been made for the punishment of such delinquency, constitutes a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 1 year or a fine of not more than $1,000.00.

Correct. He has not been convicted, merely charged.

If he was aware of that fiasco...

Not saying he was, but there must be some kind of involvement. Even if the charges make a few of them start singing, we might find someone accountable.

so would you agree that Whitmer was Willfully Negligent and criminally responsible for the dam failure in my area?

 

[BMARKS]

i would also add AG nessel to that list.

No -

When the state took control of Flint with an EM, they THEN became responsible for management of the city and subject to neglect.

"When any duty is or shall be enjoined by law upon any public officer,"

When EM's took over Flint, a duty was enjoined by law upon Rick Snyder.

The state had no control of the dams in question, and no duty was enjoined by law upon any officer of the state.

the only reason that wixom lake was filled with water was because the AG mandated that it be filled. with no research and no impact study.

 

[BMARKS]

you cant mandate a lake be filled by law, knowing full well that it is in danger of breaking and causing catastrophic damage, then have no responsibility when it does.

 

[pescadero]

the only reason that wixom lake was filled with water was because the AG mandated that it be filled.

No, she didn't.

The AG sued them to punish them for lowering the lake level IN PREVIOUS YEARS, WITHOUT GETTING NECESSARY PERMITS.

"This lawsuit seeks to vindicate the rights o fthe public to enjoy and benefit from Michigan's natural resources, including the freshwater mussels that live in the Wixom Lake ecosystem in Gladwin and Midland Counties. Without authorization, Defendants dramatically lowered the level of Wixom Lake for an extended period in both 2018 and 2019 (Drawdowns), causing the death of thousands if not millions of freshwater mussels-many of which are federally endangered. The Drawdowns also unreasonably dewatered wetlands that depend on Wixom Lake and otherwise damaged Michigan's natural resources. This suit seeks monetary relief and civil fines to compensate the public for the damage caused to the public's natural resources, and equitable and prospective relief to restore the natural resource damage and to ensure that it does not happen again."

It did not force them to do anything in 2020.

They could have gotten appropriate permits and lowered lake levels. They could have lowered lake levels, and potentially gotten fined again. They could have fixed their dams and not worried about lake levels.

... but they were absolutely NOT forced to fill Wixom lake by the state.

What's the fine if I pump out my 3 gallon hold tank half way to Milwaukee? Or just piss over the stern?

Reminds me of the truth that you Rob a 7-11 with a gun and get $50 you get life. Rob people of millions via on on line scam and get eight years.
