Rick Snyder quotes:

So if you want great sports, Michigan's the place to be.

But as a practical matter, Detroit's the sports city in the country.

I'm very proud of the auto industry in Michigan.

I have a responsibility to tell the truth. The truth about what we`ve done, and what we`ll do.

I'm a proud Republican - there's no issue with that at all, so why can't I be a proud Republican and just try to solve problems?

To you, the people of Flint, I say, as I have before, I am sorry and I will fix it. No citizen of this great state should endure this kind of catastrophe. Government failed you. Federal, state and local leaders by breaking the trust you placed in us.

I`d like to address the people of Flint. Your families face a crisis. A crisis you did not create and could not have prevented. I want to speak directly, honestly and sincerely to let you know we are praying for you, we are working hard for you, and we are absolutely committed to taking the right steps to effectively solve this crisis.
