Snyder asks to testify on Flint before House panel
Jonathan Oosting, The Detroit News 1:08 p.m. EST February 12, 2016
Gov. Rick Snyder has asked to testify before a Congressional committee looking into the Flint water crisis, his office said Friday.
Snyder on Thursday called Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and offered to travel to Washington, D.C., for a future hearing.
“The people of Flint have suffered because they were failed by all levels of government, and so it is understandable that there are questions at all levels of government,” the governor said in a statement.

Snyder declined an invitation to testify this week before the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee. He had already been scheduled to present his fiscal year 2017 budget proposal on the same day as the hearing.
