Gov. Rick Snyder ends bottled water distribution in Flint at roughly the same time as the Nestle expanded bottled water permit is approved and an anchor strike spills mineral oil in the Straits of Mackinac. Why do these PR disasters tend to happen to this Governor? His former press secretary, Sara Wurful of Truscott Rossman, talks about this and other perceptions from her experience working for Snyder.

Also, the MIRS team explores three fallacies from the gubernatorial campaign to date -- Brian Calley's role in crafting the Michigan Business Tax, Abdul El-Sayed's position on the state ballot and Shri Thanedar's claim as being the most progressive candidate on the ballot.
