Rochelle Riley: Snyder legacy will be Flint water crisis

It has come to this: Gov. Rick Snyder’s lasting legacy will not be balanced budgets or his efforts to make sure everyone is swimming in a “river of opportunity.”
It will not be “relentless positive action.”
Rather, he will be defined by inaction and another river, the Flint River.
He will be known from this time forward as the governor whose team poisoned potentially thousands of children with lead.
The ravages of lead poisoning — which affects mental and physical development — linger for years and are irreversible.
