Progress Michigan Statement on Gov. Rick Snyder’s Attempt to Whitewash Record at Town Hall 

“Gov. Snyder can spin and distort the facts as much as he wants, but the truth is he has continually put the interests of corporations over the well-being of families, communities and public safety during his tenure in office,” said Lonnie Scott, executive director of Progress Michigan. “From his abysmal handling of the state’s Aramark contract, to paying for a $1.8 billion tax giveaway to corporations by raising taxes on families and seniors, Gov. Snyder has shown he has the wrong priorities for Michigan and his hollow defense of those policies showed tonight. The governor’s defense of the scandal-ridden Aramark contract was sickening and painted a clear picture: It’s corporate profits above all for the Snyder administration.”
