Michigan Governor Snyder Apologizes for Flint Water Crisis, Says 'I Will Fix It'

Criticized for his handling of a water crisis that has exposed residents of a city of nearly 100,000 people to lead poisoning, Michigan's governor on Tuesday apologized to the citizens of Flint and pledged to fix the problem.

"Your families face a crisis — a crisis you did not create and could not have prevented," Snyder said in his State of the State address Tuesday.

"To you, the people of Flint, I say tonight as I have before: I am sorry and I will fix it," Snyder said. "Government failed you."
